Somewhat fixes 12th Gen paperwhite rendering of synced books

In the 5.19.5 thread, many people had issues getting sideloaded books to render - myself included. We'd just see a blank page, either loading the book via calibre or other using another MTP app. This included converted books and AZW3 files from Standard Ebooks.

Well, these books do show up and render in 5.19.6 - but at least for me custom fonts and alignment don't work. SendTokindle (which makes a KFX file) still works and preserves both the alignment option and ability to use a custom font, but obviously I'd rather sync with Calibre.
