Missing output format mobi

Goedric · 05-18-2011, 08:19 PM

Hey all. I just installed today and did fine creating a document for my kindle 3g. when i went to do a second one i inadvertantly removed the mobi from the output formats leaving only zip. on the little drop down remove format menu. i didnt want to but whwn looked at the dropdown menu out of curiosity the blank option which was the default disappears and you are forced to select either mobi or zip. anyway i need to undo what i did.

now no matter what i do i cannot get it back. ive delected the library. unistalled and reinstalled the entire program a dozen times. it never seems to do completely clean install.

i can see no way to add an output format to a document.

Alternatively can anyone telll me how to accomplish a clean install. Cause uninstall is leving behind sonething that wont let me get a fresh start.

im on windows 7

any help appreciated. its making me nuts.

Preferences: Advanced: Plugins

Find the Device Interface plugin on the list: Select the K2/ K3 plugin: Click Customise.

Also, check to see that the conversion output plugins are there. You should be seeing more than just MOBI and ZIP.
