Thanks for this. But I get "KindleGen Wrapper 2.2.app is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash."

Still getting the same message. I tried emptying the cache and using Chrome in case there was a browser issue. Nothing helped.

It was a Mavericks issue. Apparently I had to set my Security setting "Allow apps downloaded from" to "Anywhere." I guess the last time I downloaded one of these was before I upgraded to Mavericks. Anyway, now it's okay. Thanks for this. Great new feature.

I had the same error as amyg. I found out online that it can be fixed from the commandline with:
xattr -rc KindleGen\ Wrapper\ 2.2.app Then the app will open normally, and setting GateKeeper to "Anywhere" isn't required. |

I've just updated the first post with the correct link to KindleGen at Amazon. Is it really still on version 2.9?

It appears to be frozen in time along with the MOBI and KF8 rendering software in Kindle apps/devices. All of the new development is happening in the KFX format. |

@pdurrant: for the nifty Applescript wrapper! I never noticed it before.
Any thoughts on what the ramifications of this might be for the future of Kindlegen? |

Books converted to master MOBI using kindlegen will be accepted by Amazon for the foreseeable future, but that Amazon will be adding new e-book features over time that are incompatible with that format. To make use of those features publishers will need to submit a DOCX, EPUB or KPF file instead. Creating a master MOBI to sideload to devices for testing will become increasingly less common. Publishers will need to use the Kindle Previewer to see how their books will appear. |

Thanks! I feel like I'm sliding into obsolescence with all my 32-bit apps and dependence on KF8

I wanted to use this tool to go through my Calibre pub library and convert automatically all the epub in mobi.
Is it a good tool for that? I also seem to have an error, telling me the app file is corrupted and needs to be moved to trash. |

Unless you have some very particular reason for wanting the output of Kindlegen, it's a lot easier to just use the calibre conversion to MOBI.
The app file certainly shouldn't be reporting that it's corrupted. Perhaps this is a security setting on your Mac. Make sure you're allowing non-Apple applications to run. |

Good catch, I had to disable GateKeeper.
The thing is the Calibre conversion seems random for mobi both sent to the Amazon cloud. I sometimes get an old mobi downloaded on my Voyage. Edith : Thank you I made it work. Last edited by Almamida; 02-12-2019 at 12:48 PM. |
