Hi! I'm brand new to Calibre and to Kindle, and I'm overwhelmed with both and hoping I can get some "lay person" advice. I have this issue of the covers deleting, and now I'm in a wormhole trying to figure everything out.
The workaround requires sending from a GMX (which I first heard of last night) to the kindle e-mail. I didn't set up a GMX when I first installed, and now I can't find a way to get back to that install screen on Calibre so I can actually set up the GMX and send them to Kindle. Do I need to delete Calibre from my PC and reinstall so I can have the chance to set up the GMX? Or, can someone point me in the right direction from the main library screen?
All the tutorial videos I'm finding online use the version of plugging in the kindle, but that's the scenario where the covers all disappear... and their library screens seem different than mine (Which is the latest version I downloaded from Calibre's website).
Sorry for such a basic question (from an obviously non pro-user). Feel free to move my post if I've posted in the wrong spot. I'm frankly overwhelmed by what should be a really easy task: send all the books I already own to the Kindle Paperwhite and then simply start reading them there. If I can't get my covers showing on Kindle, I'm wondering if it's just not the right device for me and if I should stick with my phone or consider another device. I have 27 days left to return it...). My phone works fine for reading, but I was considering eye-health and lack of distractions on the kindle.
Any thoughts (HELP) appreciated!
