Calibre azw plugin crashes
Hi,
Haven't had a lot of time sifting through all threads here and there - The one I followed suggested downloading azwplugin v104 but after importing it into calibre following my attempts to convert an epub to azw calibre crashes. I have tried the azw3 and that seem to work, however I believe azw is what Amazon (Kindle White WiFi + 3G) supports best. The pc version of kindle don't seem to be able to resolve book covers when converting to mobi, azw3 hence me trying other plugins... Is there a working azw plugin available for download ? This is the error Calibre throws when using azwplugin v104... Spoiler:

I'm a little puzzled. You don't need to use a plugin to convert books to AZW3 format - just use the normal Calibre conversion options.

It is easy to be confused. AZW3 is the format you're looking for. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 01-26-2013 at 11:27 AM. |

What do you mean by "resolved"? What problem are you having with the book cover?
AZW, by the way, is simply another name for Mobi, so convert to Mobi if that's your preferred format, but AZW3 is much better - it supports more complex formatting and all modern Kindles work just fine with it. |

Sorry if this was unclear... Resolved as in "bug fixed so converted content also embed the book cover" epub's converted to mobi and/or azw3 all loose the book covers i.e covers used by kindle when in Cover view mode. The few azw books I got with the kindle all have valid covers. Content that is converted to mobi and azw3 don't. |
