Change recipe output to Kindle periodical

sk365 · 06-20-2014, 04:40 AM

Hi,

how can I adapt this recipe
https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...pes/taz.recipe
to make Kindle PW accept the output as a periodical?

Simply changing preferred output format to .mobi in Calibre's references does not help.

Thanks for help!
Stefan

All recipes generate periodical output if you chose MOBI output format and have your output profile set to Kindle. However, if you use amazon email delivery amazon mangles the mobi file destroying the periodical format. Send your files using USB only.

@kovidgoyal The problem persists it I send the file though USB. Could there be some irregularity in the recipe?

You can try sending it through Calibre's "send to device".
