also noticed it works in E:\documents but it fails to read the books if their in E:\documents\Sub Folders\ if you put either an kfx or azw8 in a subfolder inside documents, it can't read the files then? I just noticed it only reads them in E:\documents only? is that normal for this software?

is their anyone working on an transfer plugin for kfx and azw8 files at all, or do we need to wait for an new version of calibre that supports transferring of these files?
its nice to have an plugin that does the azw8 output and the kfx output, I already made the kfx output zip file work for me with azw8 output, but it doesn't help that calibre can't transfer the files at all. and an app to make icons for them. its good to be able to convert them, but doesn't help the fact you have to still copy them manually to your devices, unless their an way to force calibre to be able to transfer the files that are outputted by this plugin that is, or wait for an new version of calibre that supports the transferring part, but then for that software to work for the icons you can't have calibre put them in subfolders like it likes to do for the rest of the files in azw3 and mobi format, since the app for generating icons can't handle subfolders, that would still be an problem for calibre.

Updated my Kindle Voyage to latest firmware (5.8.5) and for whatever reason a book I created in Sigil (it has a cover and passes all ebook authoring checks) now refuses to show up in Cover view. I converted the epub to KFX format using jhowell's excellent plugin and placed the file in the ../documents folder. The extractcoverthumbs tool tells me it extracted the cover and everything went fine but no cover shows up. What's weird is that files (also KFX) that I downloaded to the Kindle before the update still show covers. Could be that the firmware update changed something. FYI, these are books that aren't available at Amazon and were scanned.

Edit: I can verify that the thumbnail JPEG for the book is in the hidden thumbnail folder but for whatever reason the thumbnail is not displayed. 2nd Edit: Hehe. Apparently the trade paperback edition of the book has a thumbnail on Amazon and an accompanying ASIN number that begins with the letter "B" so I just used that as the ASIN and now the Kindle uses that as the thumbnail. Go figure. Still would be nice to figure out why the thumbnail refuses to show when using unique ASIN generated by jhowell's KFX plugin. Last edited by HowlerX; 10-19-2016 at 07:15 PM. |
