Hi,

So if K4PC 1.9.1 does not support KF8 ebooks properly, then perhaps it was immediately yanked? And if so, I wonder why? KevinH |

I just updated to v1.9.1 and I can confirm it's still displaying KF8 content. Perhaps they haven't added support for Fixed Layout KF8's yet. I don't have any to test.
I still have to manually place the file in Kindle's Library folder, though. It won't work by double clicking the mobi outside of the app. Not sure what's up with that. |

There's some KF8 samples floating around that you should be able to sideload on a newer Kindle eink device and tell pretty quickly, though. |

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000729511 It does support fixed-layout (though as I stated before, it won't download them from Archives, so it is kind of pointless). But there seems to be no way to navigate from one 'panel view' to the next: the cursor keys just dismiss panel view and turn the page. And yes, you need to put them in the My Kindle Content folder first. For best results, you need to change the Words Per Line setting to the maximum. Does anyone know how to tell if any given title is available in KF8 format? Apart from downloading samples to Fire? I would imagine that everything being submitted to Kindle Store now should have a KF8 edition, if the new kindlegen is used (or if Amazon is converting an ePub). UPDATE: 'regular' books that are available in KF8 format (such as O'Reilly titles) do get delivered in KF8 format to K4PC. But there are at least a couple of problems right off: - no 2 column view for KF8 - synching may be problematic: I downloaded the 'same' sample to K4PC and KTouch and went to location '200'. They landed in radically different places, and over the course of a full size ebook, can only diverge more. Last edited by tomsem; 02-29-2012 at 02:43 AM. |

There is a new 1.9 version for Kindle for Mac out now. I just got a popup wanting me to upgrade mine, I declined.

Sounds, though, as if it's probably best to stick with older versions of K4PC - at least until Calibre understands KF8.

Seems pretty random. I just downloaded and installed today on brand-new computer and ended up with v1.8.3. But I've also got v1.9.0 and v1.9.1 on different computers, too. All downloaded from the same page at Amazon. I'm not sure what they've got going on there. Try refreshing the webpage a lot while logging out and back in (that's just a wild-a$$ idea, I have no idea if it will make a difference, but I know I see two completely different styles on Amazon's website depending on what browser/computer I'm using).

Set 1.8.3 to auto-update and it will when you run it again. Then when you are using 1.9.1, turn off auto-update.
