Thanks a lot! Succeeded with kindle unpack to use pure azw3. I have not used comicrack.

I just joined this forum 'cos I particularly need KCC. This thread already has too much info, and I'm dizzy looking at past postings, so excuse me if I ask the same question.

I wanna install KCC, but here:
https://kcc.iosphe.re/
only provides installer for 64-bit windows. Is there no installer for 32-bit windows 7?

AcidWeb · 01-31-2016, 08:37 AM

Nope.

AcidWeb · 02-04-2016, 12:42 AM

As I receive this question a lot let me answer publicly:
Next KCC release will be after QT 5.6 release. Which according to the plan should be released 8th December 2015...

At first I would like to thank for developing great piece of software. I especially like feature to create epub, since I do not have kindle device.

I do not know wheter it is possible to propose here some small improvement, but at least I will try :-).

I have noticed that when there is a white or black page with one small picture (for example it right bottom corner of page), KCC will crop only this picture and since I am using resample/streach setting, this small picture is resizied to full resolution of my reader. So it means that approximately 85% of the picture is cropped (because there is just white or black space) and one small part of the page is "enlarged". So I would say that the page is "overcropped". In my opinion this significantly changes the layout of page and intention of author how the page should look like.

Therefore I would propose to implement some maximum limit of how much from the page could be cropped (for example no more than 30% of the page; I think that this limit should be sufficient to ensure the main reason for what cropping is used: to cut page borders). If the limit is exceeded than cropping should not happen at all.

I not sure if what I have describe is possible to implement, but I think I would create additional value in using KCC.

I played around with the dev version of KCC to try to get all page numbers removed, but there's always a few that linger. So I just use an old windows freeware called jpegcrops, load up all pages, and simultaneously crop out the bottom margin where the page numbers are. Then I let KCC handle the remaining margins.

@marian42 - I'm aware about this issue. Not found any solution yet that satisfies me.

@badbob001 - I probably add option to do that too.

Ok. Thanks for the feedback. I have thought it will not be easy to solve.

Dear @AcidWeb, how to use python of KCC on macosx 10.6.8 because KCC just supported GUI version on 10.9+. Hope you could help me. Should I install xcode? Python3 has been installed

AcidWeb · 02-08-2016, 03:17 AM

Start kcc.py with your Python3 - it will display what libraries are missing.

Hello, I have a problem with Kindle Comic Converter. I'm sorry if the solution is somewhere and I didn't find it but I'm ill at ease with the english language and with the informatics. I almost give it up but I'm going to try here, maybe it will help, I hope..
I have a mac OS El Capitan 10.11.3 and I download Kindle Comic Converter 5.0.1.
I want to convert cbz manga to mobi, I have a Kindle Paperwhite. The conversion to epub works but Kindle doesn't support it so it's useless.
I have the error message "cannot find kindleGen!" and "instal it using "brew".
I followed the instruction but it's still doesn't work, the error message is the same while I have installed what it wanted.
I really hope someone could lead me. Thank you.

AcidWeb · 02-15-2016, 08:47 AM

How exactly you installed KindleGen?

AcidWeb · 02-15-2016, 01:16 PM

I'm still looking for Windows users plagued by "Failed to remove the file." errors. Can't replicate this issue.

Temur448 · 02-15-2016, 02:27 PM

I've been using KCC happily for at least 2 to 3 months with no problems. Recently however i have run into a problem where the Mobi/AZW3 file is not showing up in my Kindle Paperwhite 2. This happens with Calibre and when I just drag and drop it using windows explorer into the Documents folder.
I've followed these same steps before and have had 0 problems but it seems now that something has changed and now my PW2 does not seem to recognize the file.

AcidWeb · 02-15-2016, 02:33 PM

Download sample file from KCC page. It is not detected too? What firmware version you using?
