[Gone]

Hi folks,

I have a Kobo but I'm thinking of switching to a Kindle. I had one before, years ago. But I know that lots have change since then. And one of the new shiny thing, for me, is the ability to send ePub to Kindle on the fly.

Since I have accumulated lots of ePub, it's an essential feature for me.

Before, when I had a Kindle, I used to convert ePub to KFX with a plugin in Calibre and the Amazon app the was needed. It was a bit of a tedious process. Is it still the best option to get all the Kindle's features?

I tried to send an ePub to Kindle and check the result on the Kindle app on my iPad. It worked! But... Things are missing. I can't look up the book, there's no option like the "real" Kindle have. I know it has something to do with the "number" of the book on Amazon (I forgot the correct word.) Can it be saved if I use "Send to Kindle"? Right now, the converted ePub show like personal document and luckily they still have their covers, but nothing else, no metadata. And it looks like I still have to add each ebook to a collection manually.

Also, the converted ePub looks ok. But some other features seems to be missing too, like scrolling pages while staying on the same page.

With Kobo, I just have to use a Calibre plugin and my ePub are converted as kePub with no hassle and all the goodies. I'd like to have the same experience with the Kindle. Is it possible? Am I asking too much?

Thanks.
