That message means your Kindle Touch does not have the latest KF8 enabled firmware.

I have no clue, why are you using KF8 mobi anyway? Simply convert to azw3.

Quote:
Some people think Mono-spaced text, no indents or images is better IIRC KF8 will support (kindles flavor of) EPUB . EPUB has finer control of many formatting styles that Mobi did not support. The (possible) downside, is bigger file sizes (less books on the device). |

azw3
No, azw3 is not working for me.
one of the best things with Calibre and Kindle, is that 4 times per day (it remains a BIG pity that Calibre not allows to specify exact hours but only every 0.x part of a day, I am not interested in news when I sleep), Calibre sends automatically an email with news items to my Kindle, and yes, AZW3 is not a supported format for that. so, I had to revert everything to MOBI again, and like the new format is not working.... •Documents: Kindle (.AZW, .AZW1). Text (.TXT), Unprotected Mobipocket (.MOBI, .PRC) •Audible: Audible (.AA, .AAX) •Music: MP3 (.MP3) |
