Could not find reasonable point at which to split
Trying to convert a book from Amazon. I'm not sure what file format my Kindle 1.117 app downloads.
At first when converting the file to EPUB Calibre gave an error message that reads: The splits were too big for some EPUB readers, so I tried other file types, but the only thing that comes out right is the cover page. Other than that, instead of the text from the book, it's just pages upon pages of random characters, like when you try to open an image file with notepad. Then I tried heuristics enabled but that didn't work, then I set the split size to the size of the whole file and I didn't get an error message but I did get the random characters. Code:

You should be able to use the KindleUnpack plugin to extract the PDF from it. |

How to use the KindleUnpack Plugin?
I installed the KUP but that didn't change anything. I also tried using the standalone Kindle Unpack on the files in my Calibre Library folder, but I got an error message

Even if you manage to extract the PDF from the Kindle format you will find that conversion from that to a reflowable format is problematic. See the thread Read this before Posting PDF Questions.

Are Amazon eBooks PDF?
I see!
Thanks. The issue of PDF reflow aside, I would still like to find a way convert the Amazon eBook to something I can use outside the Kindle. Last edited by Manhattan; 07-26-2021 at 12:15 AM. |

NO!
Not ALL Amazon books are the same internals. Visit our Wiki here at MR. https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_formats and you will see many were used over time and need. |

The default behaviour for PDFs and all ebooks on anything is a page at a time. PDFs are a portable way of proofing or reading material designed for a particular size of paper. Real ebooks (most Amazon and epub) are designed that the virtual "paper page" is exactly the size of the device screen or an application window on a desktop/laptop OS. |

I believe that at least the Kindle app on Android in theory* supports continuous scrolling, though presumably not for fixed layout books.
*I don't know if it works, it's not my cup of tea for books. For websites, it's kind of a necessary evil since they made that design decision some time in the very very early days of web browsers and changing it would potentially break stuff, at the very least the general user interface people expect. |

The failure of KindleUnpack to extract the PDF suggests that something is wrong with the copy of the book you are working with. I suggest you try downloading and copying it again. Perhaps the original copy was corrupted in some way. If that does not help then sharing the ASIN of the book here would give us the ability to check it out. Without more information it is hard to make other suggestions. |

My guess is maybe the DRM was not removed.

Edit: I finally located the message which seemed similar to the OPs from a few months back. See After converting a mobi file to pdf, the pdf is gibberish. . I suspect the OP might be better off asking at Apprentice Alf's blog. Last edited by DNSB; 07-26-2021 at 04:00 PM. |
