I can't find how to edit the post or pm a calibre moderator as the pinned post said(this website feels really old to me). I will upload the Index Entry txt file content at here(can't find how to upload it), hope some moderators will see it...

1. Post a request to enable PMs and post editing in ==>> Requests to enable Private Messages.

2. Once you have edit permission, could you put the Version, Release Date etc in the first post - use the first post in [GUI Plugin] Resize Cover as a template.

We are probably going to reduce the index to the Link and Description within the next week.

Still can't edit the post. That's kind annoying.

Calibre mods are not forum admins. I am guessing here, but editing privledges most likely kick in after posting 5, 10 or 15 posts. I would suggest going to the Miscellaneous forum board, introducing yourself and maybe posting some in the lounge. Keep checking your posts and at some point an edit button should show up at the bottom right of the posts you create (see attached).

When you finally achieve the abilitity to edit, go to your first post in the WordDumb thread and edit it as BetterRed suggested above.

I updated the Plugin Index and attached the latest version of your plugin to the first post in the WordDumb thread.

Hate to be 'that person', but any chance of making this work with KFX (preferably) or even AZW3?

I also want to support them but haven't figure out how to calculate lemma offset on these formats and how to extract original book text from calibre code. Maybe someone could help.

I can only edit my recent post but not the old ones, still can't beat the forum spam algorithm.

Now it supports azw3! Get the latest version on GitHub: https://github.com/xxyzz/WordDumb/releases

I took a look at your code for handling azw3 format and noticed the following in parse_job.py:

start -= 14 # this value works for some books of mine

The offset of 14 will work for many books, but not all. See the thread "azw3r highlight and note extraction info" starting from post #25 for details on what is needs to be done to relate azw3 content and position numbers correctly.

Wow, thanks! KindleUnpack must rearrange the `</body></html>` tags at here: https://github.com/kevinhendricks/Ki...k8proc.py#L161

Do you happen to know how to get the correct html from calibre's code?

No, I don't.

[xxyzz]

calibre already has that part of code... I released a new version to GitHub, now this plugin should works for all mobi and azw3 books. Thanks jhowell!

Is it possible to use your kfx plugin code to extract text from kfx books like mobi files?

It does not do it currently, but it would be fairly easy for me to add. I will put that into the next release.

Checkout the latest version(v1.4.0), it supports KFX, AZW3 and MOBI. You will need jhowell's KFX Input plugin for KFX books.

A huge thanks to jhowell!
