1. Does https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/wi...cRack-metadata help?
2. KCC does support landscape reading in the latest v5.6.3. If you are using a Kindle 4 from 2011, it may be unsupported however. The resolution issue may be helped if you use HQ panel mode? Maximum resolution supported by KindleGen is 1920x1440 For reading on Android/PCs, you should be using a CBZ reader. |

Can you guys still sideload .mobi file format manga on your kindles? I read amazon has stopped its support on .mobi file. What are the other file formats of manga that can be sideloaded to kindle?

Only for "Send to Kindle" (email or website). No sideloaded format is affected. They even still deliver mobi if it's an ancient ebook uploaded in mobi (not possible for years, uses epub & docx), or if you have one of the four ancient Kindles that only accepts mobi (technically those may work with PDFs).

Didn't know about the update on the metadata. PS. Spread split only allow to: 1. Double pages will be cut in two separate pages (but my pages are already cut). With this option I'm sure it will only diplay single pages on kindle pc I tried again. 2. Display twice first rotate after that split... not sure why I should want rotate double pages on pc... I don't want that. 3. Rotate double pages... I don't want to rotate any page. I don't think any option will actually diplay two pages landscape mode. I don't like cbz format. I want my manga to be all in standard epub and/or mobi/azw3. CBZ are just zipped files... Last edited by Lief; 11-15-2023 at 03:54 PM. |

In v5.6.3 I can switch settings on my kindle to either read single pages in portrait or double pages in landscape. The spread split option does not matter if the pages are already split.
But KCC files are optimized for kindle eink devices and may look off on other devices. Even selecting the wrong Kindle profile for your device (e.g. selecting Kindle 11 profile for a Kindle PW 5) can cause issues. And EPUBS are also just zipped files. Last edited by axu2; 11-15-2023 at 09:27 PM. |

KFX Comic/Manga can only be created by Kindle Create and conversion of the resulting KPF file to KFX using the calibre's KFX Output Plugin command line mode (NOT the GUI). You will have to set the page as Left page and Right page accordingly in the Kindle Create software. There are no known way to automate the process. |

It was and still is already possible to download azw3 files with Kindle PC and to create mobi files with the old Kindle Comic Creator, or convert a compatible epub created with the tool that I suggested and send it to kindle (that will download a mobi file, not KFX). Maybe you are right and that process cannot be automated with the current interface of KCC (both Kindle Create, Epub Manga Creator and Kindle Comic Creator got an interface made to show the pages that you can change to decide the position). |

Hello everyone,
I need help with getting the cover images display on my Kindle Scribe library. I tried everything I found online and couldn't get it to work. I tired leaving the Kindle connected via USB while converting. I tried adding the .mobi files to Calibre and sending them to my device from there. The files work perfectly fine but the cover images do not show up on my Kindle. Is there any step that I'm missing? Thank you for your help. |

https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/issues/508 No way to fix unless KCC or Calibre update their code to use a python MTP library, if it's even possible. UPDATE: Hacky workaround: Plug in a flash drive that will pretend to be kindle. Must be fat32 or msdos fat Create system/thumbnails and documents folders at root of flash drive. Based on https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/bl.../kindle.py#L42 Convert with KCC and thumbnails will be generated there. Copy the thumbnails onto your Scribe in the appropriate location. On Mac use MTP client Android File Transfer. Remember, on mac/linux only 1 program can access mtp at a time, so calibre running will interfere. To create a fake physical flash drive, refer to https://support.apple.com/guide/disk...skutl11888/mac and use msdos format. Last edited by axu2; 11-24-2023 at 01:03 PM. |

For now convert to KFX and tick the PDOC option.

Hey guys, what type of upscaler does KCC use?
Can I use waifu2x in command line somehow? |
