Yeah, but if you read paper manga you have to flip the pages the other way. You have to read word balloons rtl and the panels also flow rtl for manga regardless of whether it is on paper or ebook. It's only really the page flip button or swipe that would be the same as ltr books.

But fair enough if you can't get used to page flipping in the opposite way. I'd prefer that over seeing dual page layouts in the wrong order, personally.

After searching through the web and trying to find the solution, I hope I'm not asking an already answered question.

What is your recommendation on output conversion? Do you use epub or mobi for manga on a Kindle (Oasis 2)? I can't find a clear answer as to what format is better for manga using KCC. It seems to come down to personal preference, for manga, anyway.

Are they the same, or do you prefer one over the other?

Oasis 2 don't support EPUB at all. MOBI (AZW3) is only option.

EPUB output is intermediate product if somebody want to modify something before AZW3 conversion.

Yes, except for PDF is a choice.

Technically speaking - Yes. PDF is option too.

Practically speaking - Considering how well comics/manga is supported by AZW3 (and even better by KFX) using PDF for this type of content on Kindle is in my opinion waste of everybody time.

PS. Last time when I checked KFX renderer (or KFX generator) have some issues with image gamma and currently AZW3 provide better image quality.

Hello, I will need help I am completely lost.
I can not convert my files to KCC because of the problem "can not file Kindlegen!" & "installing it using brew", while I followed the installation process with the command terminal which assures me that the process is complete. So why am I experiencing this problem? Excuse my bad English I am French, I hope you can help me.

Thank you

Open console and check if command "kindlegen" provide any output.

Command not found

I assume that you have MacOSX so I've had the same issue.

At first you have to install HomeBrew, please follow this link:
https://brew.sh

After use following link to install kindlegen:

First of all thank you for your help, I had already followed this installation method.
But I still followed your advice and kindlegen is still not installed yet I follow the procedure to the letter. I show you a screenshot can you tell me why it does not work with me?

thank you

Open fresh console and provide output of kindlegen -locale en -version command.
