[Conversion Plugin] KFX Input

[daddyjones]

Thanks for the reply. Yes, changing that tweak did enable me to import the book, but, as you said, it still has DRM on it so there's no point. I do have the DeDrm plugin installed and working, but I suppose it doesn't work on KFX.

I'll take look at that other thread you mentioned and see if I can find something helpful.

Thanks again.

I'm glad you figured it out.

For others who may have the same problem, instructions for blocking Kindle for PC from updating can be found near the end of the first post of this thread: Dealing with Kindle for PC/Mac 1.19 and KFX in calibre

"The plugin tweak "kfx_input_set_format_virtual" must be set to False to enable this type of import."
How can I do that ?

Thanks.

Set it by going to Preferences->Advanced->Tweaks->Plugin tweaks and entering:

kfx_input_set_format_virtual = False

See the calibre manual for more information.

Unable to import with unexpected Ion symbol. It was a page-load of errors, so I wrapped the error text in spoiler tags. Any ideas?

Quick edit. I was able to ignore the errors and get a usable output, but thought that the error report might be useful for assisting the next version.

Thanks for the report!

Those errors are caused by a new KFX feature that Amazon recently introduced. The next release of this plugin will handle that properly without producing an error.

Version 1.39.0 - 23 Apr 2021

Support new KFX feature. (Fixes "Unexpected Ion symbols used: $788" and "Unexpected Ion symbols used: $789")

Version 1.40.0 - 14 Jun 2021

Support new KFX feature, vertical tables in horizontal books and vice versa (yj_table-10).

Fix forced left alignment of text not being retained during conversion.

Whenever I try to convert a book it gets stuck at 67%. This started happening after I updated the plugins. Can I get the old plugins or is it something else causing the problem?

From the log it appears that the Kindle Previewer is failing to launch. Some possibilities are anti-virus software blocking it or a bad installation. I suggest that you try disabling your AV and removing/re-installing the Kindle Previewer.

If neither of those solve the problem and you know which version of the plugin you were running previously then I can re-upload it for you to try, but I doubt that will be of any help.
