Then set "exth type" to "501 - CDEContentType" and type "EBOK" in "exth data", mark checkbox and click Convert button.
The only problem is that Mobi2Mobi doesn't support AZW3, only MOBI and PRC.

Thanks. Ok, so what I should do is convert everything to MOBI and then use Mobi2Mobi to set the proper ASIN and that other data you listed and I should be good?

If it is actually a PDOC, I don't know if Amazon officially supports that anyway. If it comes to that, probaly not...
If you make sure the calibre metadata includes a correct amazon identifier, the Quality Check plugin will embed that as the ASIN, and hopefully the Kindle will stop being confused.
At least, if my guess is correct.  I don't have a KPW to test my theory.
Edit: Beaten. Great minds think alike. |
My AZW3 obviously don't have the personal banner. Will the QUality Check plug in work with AZW3 or do I need to convert to MOBI?
Thanks both of you for the replies, you are pointing me in the right direction.
