Force conversion to the same format

sspade · Yesterday, 01:04 PM

Hello,
I recently get an error E999 when I sent an ebook to my kindle paperwhite. The input format is EPUB as well as the output format. I guess that no conversion is smartly applied in this case and it is fine. But in my case, I found that a manual conversion from EPUB to EPUB was the good way to make my kindle to accept my ebook. So it would be great to have an option in the "Sharing books by email" preferences screen to force the conversion in the case that the output format is the same than input format. I don't know if this feature has already been asked, but i think it would be a great improvement.
Thanks

You can set the Input and output (override) on the first screen of the conversion.

I only testes Send by e-mail once to verify it can work,
Airplane mode 24/7/365. I have plenty of USB cables that work with my devices.

You should be able to use the Action chain plugin to do the conversion and Send by email with a single click - Index of plugins
