Convert Light novels for the Kobo Glo HD
The Kobo Glo HD has a 1072 × 1448 screen, and files that were not built for it look wrong: pages scaled down on the fly, spreads split badly, contrast off. MangaConverter converts CBZ, CBR, ZIP, RAR, 7Z, PDF and EPUB into files targeted at the Kobo Glo HD's exact resolution, so nothing is resized on the device.

This page starts the converter with the Light novel preset, which applies the prose-first light novel pipeline. Every setting stays adjustable before you convert; the preset is a starting point, not a lock.
