Hi there,

I am having an issue converting .epub files for my wife's older kindle device. It is the 4th generation Kindle from 2011. I have tried using Calibre as well as Kindle Previewer 3 to create .mobi files but though the files can be viewed fine on my computer, on the Kindle it usually only shows the first and last few pages (Author's note, Dedication, About the author, etc.) and sometimes the first page of each chapter. I think it may be something to do with Enhanced Typesetting, as I am usually able to convert older published books just fine.

I have also been able to read the .mobi files I've created on my newer Kindle Paperwhite, but I would really like to be able to figure out the settings to convert for my wife's older Kindle.

Many thanks for reading this and your help! Have a great day!
