For those books it is better to use either "From KFX" or the KFX Input CLI for conversion since those avoid the calibre conversion pipeline. If you decide to ignore this advice you can select the KFX Input conversion option to "Allow conversion to complete even if errors are detected".
For image based books such as comics/manga conversion to CBZ or PDF is generally superior to EPUB as an output format since those are well supported by many reading apps. An EPUB produced from a Kindle comic/manga will contain a lot of proprietary Amazon-specific formatting internally and may not render properly in a non-Amazon reading app. |
Thank you for the swift reply. I do not quite understand "From KFX" or the CLI. I have never heard of them. Can you go into more detail about how to use those? And yes, I have been using that "fix."
Understood about CBZ. Though my main concern is simply being able to extact the images themselves in the order they appear.
