.pdf manual looks alright on my 7.8 inch eReader. But whenever I open the EPUB version, it displays a shrunk page in the top left corner on the screen (screenshot attached).

It's a brand new device. It's my first day of using it. Firmware was updated right away at the start. All software is stock. Things I've tried:

- opening with either "epub 2" or "epub 3",
- tweaking settings, including margin cropping, zoom level, fit screen, fit width

I copied the manual files from a Linux computer. I identified the device using 'lsblk', mounted using 'sudo mount', entered the directory 'English', copied the files using 'sudo cp', left the directory so that it's not in use, unmounted the device, unconnected it.

Hey, sorry the ePub isn't working on your reader. I wonder if it's because I created it with 2-page spreads? Can you download and try the following (it is just a single spread)?

Please let me know if this one works better.
No difference. I did make sure I'm opening the right file.

I tried rotating the screen to read in landscape mode. Doesn't fix the problem either, the tiny page appears a bit father right, about 2/5th from the left edge.

It's a model from 2018, only the firmware update is from 2020. I'd be happy if other people would chime in and say which eReaders display the official epub manual correctly.
