Can I edit epubs and make it change mobi?
Hello all,
I just edited my first epub book in calibre, but found that I cannot download calibre books to my kindle paperwhite. When I tried converting my edited epub to mobi, none of the changes stuck. Is there a way to make the changes follow the conversion to mobi so I can read a nicely edited version on my kindle? Thanks in advace! |

convert to AZW3. Mobi is an old version of HTML that is missing modern features

I wonder if the issue is that the conversion to mobi is being done from the ORIGINAL_EPUB as opposed to the EPUB?

Only the K1, K2, DX and DXG need mobi any other old kindles without azw3 should be upgraded as mobi is terrible. The K3 works well with azw3 after upgrade. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW Note there are three ranges of model the AZw3 update applies to and if your FW is really old earlier updates are needed first. There is no reason to use ordinaly Mobi (KF7) on any version of Paperwhite, Oasis or a Voyage and Kindle Basic. It's only the 1st and 2nd Gen Kindles that have to use Mobi, which was already obsolete before the first Kindle was released! |

I do wish that once the ORIGINAL_EPUB was written, it would not be used until you put it back. Fortunately, the Modify ePub plugin ignores ORIGINAL_EPUB so I can run it multiple times without an issue. Most time it takes two runs to say there's nothing left to modify.
