Can't do that unless DiapDealer updates his XP build. Or I upgrade my Windows.

It'll be automatically displayed.
Yes! It works. Thanks.

However, it gave me this non-fatal error:

while executing

(procedure "ttk::entry::AutoScroll" line 3)

But after clicking "go ahead anyway" it did complete.

Where does it keep its settings now?

I did a conversion and ticked the "thumbnail" option.
That made a file "thumbnail_EBOK_portrait.jpg"
which would be rather useless, since there is no link to the book.
So I tried adding the fake ASIN, then that made the files:

Obsidian_&_Blood_d9ddc69e3e95.azw3
thumbnail_d9ddc69e3e95_EBOK_portrait.jpg

Presumably the fake ASIN d9ddc69e3e95 is written into the azw3.

Perhaps these options should be linked in the settings.

Also, I received the warning
Quote:
Warning: The cover is too small: 396 x 600
I ignored that since I thought it looked fine at full screen and this is not anything I'm going to distribute.

But while the thumbnail was 217x330, in the Kindle's (PW-3, 5.8.9.2) grid display the thumbnail was 2/3 the size of others (which I had loaded using Calibre, but had 600x800 or larger cover images).

Do you know how the grid display size is determined?
I can resize the cover in the ePub but would prefer it if the thumbnail in the grid filled its slot.
