I have a good small epub, and converted to AZW3. The ePub was OK using ADE, but the Kindle Previewer wasn't quite the same (no surprise) so I opened the AZW3 using editor and ran a check
1. The Cover jpg was duplicated, but the 00002.jpg was not referenced (easily edited out) and 0001.jpg is the real cover
2. The OPF has
Code:
<guide>
<reference type="toc" href="text/part0000.html#calibre_generated_inline_toc" title="Table of Contents"/>
<reference type="cover" href="images/00001.jpeg"/>
<reference type="other.ms-coverimage-standard" href="images/00001.jpeg"/>
<reference type="other.ms-coverimage" href="images/00001.jpeg"/>
</guide>
which I guess is something the Kindle needs (not sure) 3 different ways to find the cover image
3. BUT ... [Check Book] generates errors for each the 3 lines
Code:
The link "images/00001.jpeg" points to a file images/00001.jpeg that is not a text (HTML) document. Many ebook readers will be unable to follow such a link. You should either remove the link or change it to point to a text document. For example, if it points to an image, you can create small wrapper document that contains the image and change the link to point to that.
Since I was looking for problems in the output AZW3 I noticed these flagged Warnings.
Q1 - Do we need to copy the cover image twice?
Q2 - Is there any way the conversion can "create small wrapper document that contains the image and change the link to point to that"?
Q3 - Did I miss a conversion setting?
Thanks
