Well, I figured how to get the bold to work on my sideloaded stuff, which is a miracle in itself as I am pretty clueless about it all. Only thing is, its back to not having a cover show when I do it.
I use calibre only in the bare bones, I have no idea about any of the geeky stuff. Here someone said to first resize the cover, then convert to mobi "old" and use Pdoc in the field. That finally gave me the covers on my kindle on sideloaded.
I only sideload with the send to kindle thingie that I can right click on the file. Its the easiest for me and I can get my stuff in the cloud that way. I don't have a lot of sideloaded stuff really.

But it didn't have the bold font. So what I did was I converted to "both" mobi, whatever that means, I tried the azw, but I can't right click that for send to kindle. So now its sends it with bold enabled, but no cover. I'd rather have the bold I guess if I have to pick.
If I remember correctly when editing the metadata on the book in Calibre, you need to write in the "Ids" field:

amazon:ASINnumber

You can find the ASIN number in the Amazon page of the book, in the Details area. This works when sideloading directly with Calibre, not sure about the Send to Kindle feature but maybe it's worth a try?

I'll give it a shot, once I find that field. Can't hurt.

eta: tried it and nope, still no cover. But thats ok. Besides the home view, I have it set to list the books, not the covers. And when I open the book, the cover is there inside, just doesn't show anymore on home view.

In case anyone was wondering, the Bold options (and Enhanced Typography features more generally) do not apply to Periodicals, which use an ancient mobi format.

True, but the more general answer:
Go to top of this page.
In the bread crumb trail, click "Amazon Kindle"
That takes you to the top of this forums index page (where you probably just came from).
Next section down from top, set off by blue bar dividers, find: "sub-forums".
Click "Kindle Developer's Corner".
Scroll down that index page until you see the title: "Snapshots of coplate's packages". Click.
Scroll down to four or fifth post - the one with the "nomax" package attachment.
That is the one you want to use with 5.8.11
You have to put it in /mrpackages so you can use MrPI to install it.

Here it is: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=289215
It's linked on the Jailbreak sticky post under the "never ever hit reset again" lol.

Btw, I had again the problem with "undeletable" books (cannot delete any book on kindle or through usb). I figured a workaround though, found out I can only delete them after making sure they aren't part of any collection; don't know why but it's working for me right now, then I delete de .fuse_hidden file and .sdr on my pc and can finally get rid of them.

I love the 5.8.11 update. I always liked the Bookerly font but it was too light for me. To be able to make this bolder is heaven. The only downside is that making it bold increases the font size, but I could just decrease it by 1 mark.

Thank you for the tip. I'll try and use it when I plug my kindle to the computer.

So what I am reading is the update deletes the jailbreak files but they can be reinstalled.

Do I have that right?

Hey whats Font_Ramp!???
I read its related to Fonts size??? And it don't requires jailbrake
In Paperwhite now there are 14 size variation & 5 boldeness levels.

So what does Font_Ramp do?
Increase Number of font variation that is making 14 to 20 like that?
Will it work on my Kindle Paperwhite 3 with 5.8.11 upgrade???

No.
and
No.

The jail break is viral, it will auto-reinstall when the device next boots, which it will do as the last step of installing the image update.

Just stay away from the "(factory)Reset" function and everything will work just fine.

Note:
ONLY the jail break (device key) and application keys are auto-installed (bridged) across Amazon updates.
All other *.bin add-ins must be re-installed.

The boldness slider has been a feature of the Kindle firmware for less than two days now, so I would guess not.

The pageflip feature support has been around long enough that it might be supported by Calibre.
Wait for a Calibre user to report on that one.
