Thanks so much for the quick reply, and the next update! I really appreciate all you have done with this wonderful program!!

"Hmm. I'm on Calibre 8.20, enabled sharing of book contet in Calibre preferences, tried converting mobi to mobi, epub to mob, now finding my Kindle doesn't even ask me if I want to tweet/share with these files.
It will ask me if I want to share the files converted under 8.19 and lower, although it reports the content does not support sharing.
Anyone else experienced this?
Thx "

OK, clarification. I can share highlights (as personal documents not including title & author), but it won't ask me if want to share I have finished a book.

This is the expected results.

You're welcome.

Instead of saying this is the expected results I should have said, due to technical difficulties worked out in another thread that this is the current compromise.

Ronin47 · 09-26-2011, 05:38 PM

Cheers For the info dwanthny.

Could you link to the other thread please?

Also when you say current compromise does that mean its something that's still being worked on ?

Cheers again

No.

This means current behaviour within the limitations that Amazon currently enforce at their end.

Ronin47 · 09-28-2011, 08:29 AM

ah ok , thanks for the info mate.

Hope something gives on the amazon side soon ;-)

Sorry I am unclear on the current state of this issue. I have just started getting the "sharing not supported" message on books imported via calibre. Is this something that can be "fixed" via preferences? I have no need to sync between multiple devices however I do have a need to be able to share (push to a twitter account).

Is rolling back to a previous version the only solution? Any idea which version I need to go to in order to achieve this, any idea where I can find this version?

Thanks so much,
D.K.

In the current version (0.8.34) you need to tick the box to 'Enable sharing of book content via Facebook, etc.'. You can find it in Preferences > Output Options > Mobi Output.

donaldkagan · 01-16-2012, 04:56 PM

Thank you very much for your fast and accurate reply. It seems a strange option to bury in the system like that.

Thanks again,
DK

Hi.
First off, I really like Calibre.

On to the issue at hand:
I've disabled the syncing to be able to publish to Facebook when I'm done reading a book, like instructed in this thread. But when I try to share, I get told that the material does not support sharing.

I wish not to publish anything other than that I've finished the book, and the rating I give it.

Nickz89 · 05-04-2012, 06:38 AM

Sorry if I resume the thread, but does anybody know how to get the title and the author of the book instead of "Personal document" when you share a highlight?

Thank you very much.
