Hey team:

I have a 7" fire tablet from way back in 2015.

It looks like a .kfx format is the best for this device. I can generate them with calibre but even though calibre can detect it, it seems like when I try to send the book there; it does not work (via Calibre).

1) is there a way to send files via calibre?

I tried putting a kfx file on my microsd storage card (Kindle, Books, eBooks) and none of those places picked up my book.

2) Are books *only* allowed on the root storage?

3) Anyway to get XRAY working?

4) Anyway to get goodreads integration working?

5) Is there an easier way to transfer kfx files to the fire than adb push *.kfx /storage/sdcard0/kindle

?

Thanks in advance!
