I'm trying to use librariansync, with calibre, but can't install Python successfully.

I have Paperwhite 11th Gen (G0002DK) on FW 5.15.1.1 with Winterbreak,
KUAL and MRPI all working as expected.

kindle-python-0.15.N-r18981.tar.xz from Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks does not seem compatible.


Thanks

have not seen this thread in quite a while. but the forum emailed me that the thread had a question and I saw my post quoted :-)

I don't use my kindle anymore btw. dumped it for an android e-ink reader. as even after getting librariansync to work, I ended with other more fundamental issues related to how big a library you could have. and fixing that required replacing the entire sqlite DB (as you needed either a newer DB version to support more than 4K entries (if I remember correctly) or recompile the current DB with some new flags) which was just way too much work. The slowness of the device also really bugged me.

In any case, to address the question raised, yes that is the correct version but you might need to respin it for your device so that kual can process it.

scroll up from the post here to see the discussion on how to create packages for newer models. I don't remember if I had to extract the 2.7 python package explicitly from inside that zip file before doing this btw.

I'm pretty sure I've got everything else working, KUAL is installed, and I did the hot fix. I have a:

Kindle Oasis (8th Generation)
Released 2016
Kindle Nickname(s) KOA
Recommended Jailbreak WinterBreak2 < 5.16.4

Currently running 5.15.1
Calibre says it sucessfully creates my collections .json

The collections .json file is full of what looks like UUIDs not book titles

Librarian Sync is visible in KUAL, and says it is able to both replace and update the collections file when i tap on the options. When I try to use LibrarianSync, I still can't get my Oasis to recognize my collections. When i try to change how my library is displayed, collections is greyed out and I can't choose it.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Please let me know if you need more information. I'm really desperate to be able to control my library again.

Did you install Python package from NiLuJe’s Snapshots?

Nevermind!

Turns out, i have to Register with amz to get to use collections. I really dislike how i'm not allowed to use my device how I want. The Kindle interface just SUCKS. There is so much wasted space, i don't need to see covers, i need to see titles. Honestly, I loved my experience on my old Paperwhite a decade ago. I had more control.
