First I had to locate the kfx file on my phone, which took a while. (The files were in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files but I don't know if that's universal I found it doing a search for .kfx.)
Then I zipped the whole directory labelled with the B0* book ID.
I emailed it to myself (because it beat messing around trying to set up mtpfs crap or get adb to work so I could transfer files). I also sent along with the .ticr file and the one that was just a string of numbers and characters from the files directory. (I don't know if those two files are necessary, but I was recreating the directory structure.)
On my desktop, where I have Calibre, I created a "KFX" directory. I dropped the .ticr file and the other in the folder root and then extracted the zipped B0* folder.
I followed your setup directions on the desktop, used the extracted B0* directory as the import source, and bam, it worked like a charm. I'll be reading my shiny no-longer-kfx book on my aging Nook tonight. Thanks!  |
I tried your method, but it didn't seem to work. I was able to zip the entire B0* directory, created a "KFX" directory on my desktop, then extracted the zipped B0* folder. But when I tried adding in the directory to Calibre, it began adding all the files in the extracted folder (45 total). I don't know if it matters, but I either couldn't find the .ticr file and the one that was a string of numbers and characters, or they weren't there.
Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
