I'm sure this is a really dumb question, but I can't figure out how to use it. Everything I've tried has given me errors or done nothing. I've done the rest of the process and it worked great. But since I can't seem to get kindlestrip to work, I'm stuck with files in the hundreds of MBs.
Could you please give me a step-by-step on how to use the kindlestrip python file? ETA: Nevermind! It looks like I just didn't have the right version of python installed or something. Reinstalled and now it's working! Last edited by 7hir7een; 10-20-2012 at 01:28 PM. |

Did kindlegen report any errors? It would be helpful to see its output. I also ran into a problem where kindlegen wouldn't create mobi files larger than 400 or 500 MB or so. This means that you all your images have to be smaller than 200 - 250 MB because the generated mobi is twice the size before using kindlestrip. |

Is it possible to enable Panel View for a comic without parsing it for panels? I don't want or need any of the features of Panel View other than full screen images and saving my location. I've tried converting to mobi with Calibre, but the images are surrounded by huge margins that make the text of the speech bubbles unreadable.
Edit: I have gone through all of the steps and converted a volume and, while tedious, the Paperwhite really shines with manga. If only it was as easy as the PRS-T1 and I could just use PerfectViewer without the need to convert anything. Last edited by duelle; 11-10-2012 at 03:01 PM. |

I followed the steps but when I read the comic on my PW, every 2nd page would be empty and the subsequent one only will show the next page. Also, panel view isn't available when I tried the above mentioned steps... Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Yeah, it's tedious but it works.
Resize images, run KindleComicParser on the folder, run Kindlegen on the .opf in the folder, then run kindlestrip to cut the size in half. |

I've made a small update to the program to enable command line usage. This way you can create a small batch file to pretty much do all of the steps at once.
The command line format for KindleComicParser is as follows: KindleComicParser.exe [Comic Title] [Path] If both arguments are omitted, the GUI will open. If Path is omitted, it will perform the operation in the current directory. An example batch file (with KindleComicParser.exe, kindlegen, kindlestrip.py, and the batch file in a folder that's added to Window's PATH environment variable): Code:
echo Kindle Comic Generator set /p comicname= Please enter comic name: KindleComicParser.exe "%comicname%" kindlegen -c2 "%comicname%.opf" -o out.mobi kindlestrip.py out.mobi "%comicname%.mobi" del out.mobi Last edited by Dc5e; 11-18-2012 at 10:36 AM. |
