[Conversion Plugin] KFX Input

[theducks]

metadata.opf is not a book.
That is the metadata backup file for Calibre.
If there is no book format, that is an 'empty book' (no formats) entry in calibre

As theducks pointed out it appears that you are trying to import the wrong file, one that is already inside of your calibre library.

See the section "Importing KFX books into calibre for conversion" in the first post in this thread for information on how to locate books downloaded using Kindle for PC.

Thanks, I was trying to find something that might be helpful.

For some reason I can see the book cover and name, but file is still unconverted KFX. Must have done something wrong. I've tried a few different books.

Duh
I figurged it out. After I get KFX I needed to convert to EPUb. I can read now.
Thanks I do appreciate your responses.

Thank you for reporting this problem. There are variations on ruby content that are not handled properly by the current version of this plugin. This will be fixed in the next plugin release, expected within a few days.

[jhowell]

Version 2.12.0 - 28 May 2024

Improve handling of ruby content. Fixes ("ruby_content xxxx has extra data: ...")

Ignore extraneous BookManifest.kfx files produced by the new Kindle for Mac app.
