Thanks for your share that news. The problem is that Calibre last versions are not running in my Mac. Because of the OS...

The issue is addressed in Calibre v 4.17.

...remove your books without cover from your kindle
...transfer them back to your kindle using calibre 4.17
..eject kindle and switch on wifi on your kindle ( your covers will disappear)
..connect to calibre again and your covers will be restored

check with calibre support team about installing the latest version in your mac.

All the best

What OS are you running? If it's Windows, there's the excuse you need to upgrade to Windows 10. If it's not, there's the excuse you need to install Windows 10.

Windows 10 is terrible at everything besides loading graphical drivers. It doesn't even have a good UI anymore.

...and that's your opinion, just as it's JSWolf's opinion that Windows10 is great.

What a wonderful world where we all have opinions and can share them!

Out of curiosity, why did you post on the 23rd & 24th, that you could not run the latest calibre due to your OS? Yet now you are managing to run calibre 4.17.0 under MacOSX 10.13.6 High Sierra? A modified and home compiled version? Running from modified source?

Most issues with Windows 10 are user error.

You can actually benchmark most aspects of an operating system besides UI design.

As a network engineer, nobody in my career field uses windows for a reason. It's a decent consumer OS because it's what people are familiar with and it loads GPU drivers the best.

Windows is losing market share rapidly for a reason.

Macintosh hardware is very much overpriced and Linux is going nowhere fast. Chrome is not all that useful. What else is there? WINDOWS!

Linux has reduced Windows on Internet Servers from about 90%, when Linux was 5% in 1999 to 5%.
Home users are down to about 46% Windows, as many have swapped PCs for iPad and Android Tablet.
Linux is really just the Kernel, which Android uses and it is now over 85% of phones and tablets.

Fifteen years ago it was obvious, XP was far better than Linux for the Desktop. Now Windows is only better if you have to have game or business application (Sage, Payroll etc) that only works on Win10, but even there it might not work, so MS includes the SAME VM as Linux includes. The 100% Windows 7 or XP compatibility mode on 64 bit Win 10 is to run the application in a complete copy of an older windows.

Sinofsky destroyed the Windows and MS Office experience and now uses an iPad pro with a keyboard.

Windows is pre-installed unless you build your own or buy a Mac. They had 1/2 the rate of uptake of Win10 as forecast even with forcing upgrades and offering it free.

Now all MS want is Cloud Subscriptions. A PS4 is maybe better for gamers and streaming services.

You are sounding like the MS Halloween Papers and Ballmer of 1999. MS now supply Linux on Azure and use Linux based Edge Routers for the Cloud.

People can see what tasks they need and choose now. Also the absolute need to upgrade PC every year to two years is gone.

While tablets have their uses, they cannot replace a full fledged computer unless it's a full fledged Windows tablet. I have a Surface Pro 2 and it works as a full fledged computer.

Tablets cannot run Calibre and to me, that means i need a computer.
