Links in news (Calibre 0.7.27)
I had a problem with links in news feeds. When I preview news using Calibre (default fb2 format) just external links works. When I convert it to mobi and preview with Calibre the first click on cross-reference link leads me to the first page and further clicks just don't work. When I try it on my Kindle 3, each click on such link leads me to the first page (I'm using Kindle output profile). How make it works?

To navigate in a news feed on the kindle use the joystick.

By joystick you mean 5-way controller? I'm using it. Left and right buttons don't work. Middle button click on cross-reference link leads me always to the first page of feed.
EDIT: I converted mobi feed to html using mobi2html. All cross-reference links still lead to the begining of the document. There are just three generated anchor tags and are placed at the begining of html Last edited by matek09; 11-10-2010 at 09:23 AM. |

If you have set the outptu profile to kindle then the MOBI files you download will be in the MAazon periodical format, which means you will be able to view a Sections list and articles list and jump from one article to the next using the 5-way controller.

I am having a similar problem. I had been having it before, but thought it could be an issue related to my version of Calibre, so I upgraded to 0.7.30 and tried to send the news feed to my Kindle. On the Kindle, I get a document that looks like HTML, but where the links all just take me back to the top of the document. Do I need to remove some of the possible file types in the configuration? I used the welcome wizard to set things up for using a kindle. Any suggestions?

As previously stated ensure your outptut profile is set to Kindle. |
