Reset book as NEW

[ofey]

I often check that calibre has sent a proper converted mobi copy of a book to my Kindle 3. The problem is that checking does not => reading it at the time.

I'd like to retain the NEW logo next to the book, so I can see at a glance that its something I've not read.

Is there a way to reset the NEW logo on a book I've simply flipped through?

I've started checking my Calibre conversions using Amazon's Kindle Previewer rather than the Kindle itself for this very reason.

Don't books quit showing as new after a certain amount of time regardless of whether you have opened or read them?

Given you (the OP) have a K3, I'd probably utilize a collection for "New" Books or "Unread" Books for the purpose you're looking for.

You can recover "new" label changing the book file timestamp to now and deleting sidecar files used to store book advance.
ie:

f:
cd "F:\documents\Alan Furst"
copy /b "oficial polaco, El - Alan Furst.azw3" +,,
del "F:\documents\Alan Furst\oficial polaco, El - Alan Furst.sdr"\*.azw3?

These commands recover the "NEW" label for this book.
Sidecar files are:
azw3f y azw3f files for mobi y azw3 books.
yjf y yjr files for kfx books

This script set as NEW all books...

for /r %%x in (*.azw3 *.mobi *.kfx) do (
echo "%%x"
copy /b "%%x" +,,
)
for /r %%x in (*.azw3f *.azw3r *.yjf *.yjr) do (
echo "%%x"
del "%%x"
)
pause
