kindle android copy / paste

bookmania · 10-30-2014, 06:10 AM

Is there any solution to copy/paste on kindle android?When i try to copy there is written "Your selection exceeds the copy limit set by the publisher of this book".But this is incorrect because the books are that i have builded with calibre.

Thanks in advance

Hi Bookmania,

I had the same problem after manually adding my .mobi files to "Kindle" folder. The books successfully appeared on Kindle>Library>Books but didn't allow text selection. I deleted those files from "Kindle" folder and used Dropbox > Transfer > Kindle app. to automatically transfer them to my Kindle app. That did the trick (selection allowed), but now those books appear under 'Docs' in Kindle Library. I still didn't figure out where those books are stored on my android device.
Should you have any other ideas, you're more than welcome to share your progress.
Cheers.

Thank you very much for your response. It's good to know that the problem is within Kindle app. I do hope they will fix it asap.
Oh, and I've also tried to upload my books to /Internal Storage/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/ - that didn't work either - same copy/paste restrictions.

I have tried ,it works really.I have found ,those book are stored out in "kindle" folder where all other books are,but renamed like "UQLRKXCNIOX47UPUW2DRQY2OOQSJ5L4X_PDOC.prc" not with same name.At the same time in Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files - folder is stored like "UQLRKXCNIOX47UPUW2DRQY2OOQSJ5L4X.ticr"

It looks hard to find out a practical solution.

Thank you very much again,i pray for you
