iOS 9 iPad, Kindle App loses covers to some personal docs folder

Brammy · 04-12-2016, 10:14 AM

Hi there,

I'm having a problem I haven't seen covered. I have a lot of side-loaded books on my iPad. For instance, I've noticed a weird formatting issue with a Kindle book on my iPad Pro 12.9 that's solved by breaking the DRM, converting the book to a .mobi and uploading it to the my personal documents*

The covers are there when I download, but if I force quit the app or do another sync, some of the covers are lost, and some stay.

Is this a bug in either the Kindle app or iOS 9, or am I doing something wrong when I convert the book? I usually set Calibre to make both kinds of .mobi (I set the new, old, both box to both).

* The formatting issue if I read a book in landscape, sometime at the end of a chapter, a single page is spread across two half page

After several hours of researching possible workaround for this bug I found this curious solution:

If you experience problem with disappearing covers install this free app "Battery Doctor": https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/batt...446751279?mt=8
and run:
1) Memory -> Boost
2) Junk -> Clean up cache.

You should regain some disk storage and covers thumbnails in Kindle for iOS 5.0 should be visible again.
