The bold slider is never going to work with Mobi and no plugin can help.

Convert these Mobi eBooks to KF8 and the bold slider will work. Mobi is obsolete and has had it. Give it up. If you are emailing and that's why you have Mobi, stop it. If you are converting to Mobi, stop it. If you have Mobi because that's what you downloaded from Amazon, try again in case any of those eBooks have been updated to to include KF8. If you still get Mobi, convert to KF8 on send to your Kindle via Calibre.

If you aren't removing the DRM, go to https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/ and you can find all about DRM removing with Calibre.

That's a comprehensive reply, but unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem. Converting a book from Mobi to AZW3 does not produce a boldness slider and I was trying to find a solution to this problem.

There’s a bold control with 5 levels of bold settings

Last updated on October 12th, 2017 Yesterday when Amazon announced the new 7″ Kindle Oasis, the press release also mentioned a software update for current Kindles to add some of the new features that are going to be available on the 2nd gen Oasis.

The new firmware version is 5.8.11 and it’s available for all Kindles from the Paperwhite 2 and newer.

That includes the current and previous $79 entry-level Kindles, the Kindle Voyage, the 1st gen Kindle Oasis, and of course the Paperwhite 2 and 3.

The update adds three new features. There’s a bold control with 5 levels of bold settings that work with all included font types, they added more font sizes (14 total), and now in-book search results show chapter headings within results.

The boldness slider only works if the book is in AZW3 format, and only, apparently, if the book arrives from Amazon already in that format. If you get a book in Mobi format from whatever source and convert it to AZW3 in Calibre, it does not produce the boldness option.

I use the tag "_read" when I've finished reading a book. At any time I have many series on the go and I would like to be able to search for the first unread book in each of the series of which I have read at least one book.

No need for a brand new plug-in. The Multi-Column Search (MCS) plug-in already can do what you are requesting via its Tab named "SQL Query".

The post is number 225, and has the title "Next in series".

The bold slider works with the included fonts with KFX. Mobi is now even more obsolete then before. So stay away from Mobi.

A plugin that have the ability to search/find in multi books

HTML content
plain text
CSS/xpgt stylesheet
OPF maifest
NCX TOC

And have the function replace and replace all.

2 of Kiwidudes Plugins do most of these for EPUB

Quality Check (finds)
ModifyEPUB (changes)

BTW Polish (built in) also cleans some of these

All assumes a Valid EPUB to start (plain text is not valid, OPF manifest IS)

I keep adding and removing Job Spy because I always have something go wrong when I use it. I will try it again.

would it be possible to created metadata parser for novelupdates.com?

Hi,

I might be doing everything wrong, but I am consistently now polishing my epubs, after I verify their metadata and dress them in nice covers.

My problem is, I choose to embed fonts and I often see fonts listed as "not found."

I was dreaming of a plug in that could keep a list of the fonts that were not found, so I can maybe find and install them.

I wonder if running calibre with the DEBUG mode active would leave that info in the log?

It would be really nice with a plugin who could fetch annotations from android readers like Mantano or moonreader?
