KFX Output and cover thumbnails

Hi, I used this plug-in to convert some MOBI ebooks to KFX and to send them via USB to my Kindle Paperwhite (fw 5.14.2) . It works very well!! I use also the method 1 described in the first post to send the correct cover thumbnails.

A little suggestion... Is it possible to avoid the step in which I have to eject the device, wait a moment until the cover thumbnail for the book has been replaced by a generic cover and then I have to reconnect the kindle to Calibre in order to fix the cover thumbnail??

A solution could be one in which Calibre:
  • checks if the Kindle is in airplane mode. If yes it alerts the user to connect it to wifi. If it's not possibile to do this check it would be useful a simple message...
  • sends the ebook via USB
  • ejects the device "via software"
  • waits that Amazon replaces the cover by a generic cover
  • reconnects the device (I don't know if it's possible...).
  • fixs the cover thumbnail
  • produces a little "bip" or a message to inform the user thar the process is complete

Stefano
