Amazon really needs to get their act together on KF8 books. I spent all day trying to get a book I'm writing to properly generate. I used some CSS magic to make a single file that displays properly on eInk Kindles (which still do NOT display KF8 books) and also display via KF8 on applicable devices. Here are the results:
There is obviously some problems occuring with the Fire and KF8 books generated with Kindle Viewer 2.4. I would hate to publish my KF8 book and then have it merely look like a mobi 7 book. ![]() The KF8 book can be sideloaded via USB to an eInk Kindle and my phone running Kindle for Android, but it cannot be sideloaded via USB to the Fire. The file shows up on the fire, but the Fire has no clue as to what it is. Last edited by jswinden; 03-30-2012 at 11:05 PM. |

There have been some important enhancements in the latest updates. In addition to support for Kindle Format 8, you can now email personal documents to your Android device by using its Send-to-Kindle email address. You can find this address at Amazon (go to Your Account, select Manage Your Kindle, then go to Personal Document Settings). You can also select from multiple dictionary languages when looking up definitions.

Oh good, another worthless blog spreading totally unsubstantiated rumors. Meh!!! The rumors last year about the current Fire were mostly wrong, BTW. Where is the infamous 10" Fire that rumormongers were squealing (like pigs) about? Just because you wish for something doesn't make it come true, and about 99% of the rumors seem to be wishes rather than fact-based information. And about 99% of bloggers write worse than an elementary school student. I typed a word--I are blogger.

I'll buy the next generation Kindle Fire regardless. I'm a sucker for everythng Amazon sells. I'll buy it as soon as Amazon has it up for sale at its web site.
So far in the last few years I've had a Sony 505 eReader, a Sony 900 eReader, a Kindle 3, a Kindle Fire and now the new Kindle Fire eInk glow in color weighing only 4 ounces and having android app capabilities as well. My library will benefit from all my obsolete eReaders. Hopefully, they can loan them to poor folks so they, too, can read eBooks. It appears 3 years is the maximum life for my PC's and eReaders. At least my cars last 10 to 20 years. |
