Converted Kindle Book paging backwards??

TheLazurus · 02-28-2025, 08:57 AM

Hello all! Managed to grab all my Kindle books before the USB download option was shutdown, but I'm having issues with one of my books: it's paging backwards! If I try and go back a page, it's going to the next page, and vice verse. I know it's not just my reader, because the exact same behavior happens in the Calibre reader.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've already tried reconverting from the AZW3 but that didn't fix it.

You will need to edit it with the edit book tool and change page-progression-direction in the OPF file.
