MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Removing Personal Doc Tag [PDOC] from .mobi file

Derek R · 03-09-2013, 10:26 AM

I create an epub file in Sigil (which is excellent) and then use Kindle Previewer to convert the file to a mobi file for use on the various Kindle devices.

The only snag is that whenever I transfer the mobi to my Kindle Fire it is recognized as a document and not a book, and so will not appear on the bookshelves in the "books" section.

I read that this is because of the PDOC tag generated in the file. Is there any easy way to remove this?

I have been able to remove it in "calibre" (which is also excellent), but this means - unless I am overlooking something - going through the conversion process and altering the file in other ways.

Any suggestions?
