Because I've purchased books from various sources, I don't have my Kindle connected to the app/wi-fi etc. I did initially set up from the store just for ease of updating firmware, but then de-registered my device because I side-load using Calibre only [manually on my PC]. I know there's better ways, but it's what I'm used to. LOL
1] Every time I go from the book I'm reading back to my library I get the pop-up message 'cloud not available'. Is there a way to make this go away?
2] Each new book I open, it doesn't save my preferred font, boldness etc. Is there a setting I've not seen that will do this for me across all my books on the device?
3] Page numbering doesn't work.  , when I click on the option, it's greyed out [tried 5 random books, works on my old Kindle but not this one]
These are probably user-error, but like I said, I'm tech challenged so any patient help is appreciated.
ETA 3rd problem |
Amazon don't care what books you have on your Kindle. And I suspect all three problems would go away if you turned WiFi back on. But let's have a think anyway.
It does occur to me that you say you "don't have your kindle connected" to Wifi. Did you actually turn Wifi off? It's possible that problem 1. is a result of disconnecting from the wifi hub, but not actually turnning wifi off.
For 2 and 3 I wonder how you're sideloading the books. You say with calibre, so I'd expect the books to be in the right place. But perhaps you copy them yourself from a calibre folder?
The page numbering is probably a lack of apnx files, IIRC. Perhaps there's a calibre plug-in that could add those for you?
Personally, I just mail third-party ebooks to my kindle account and download from there....
