BTW, KindleGen won't generate an .apnx file for you, but you can generate an .apnx file for testing purposes with the latest KindleUnpack version. However, IIRC, you'll also need to add ASINs with dualmetafix_mmap.py, before you generate the .apnx file with KindleUnpack. |
Please, could you explain a bit more the procedure?
That is, if I have an epub with a pagemap file, and with that epub I build a .mobi with Kindlegen and after that I use the last version of KindleUnpack to unpack the generated .mobi, will I have an .apnx file?
And regarding ASIN, can it be any number? (I ask you this because the generated .mobi could be a public domain book whose ASIN doesn't exist).
Many thanks in advance.
