Correction: having tried that, without reading properly, I have the azw with cover and no bolding slider. So now I'm going to try put the jpeg cover I have in the correct folder, et voilà (hopefully). Last edited by Pjama; 10-27-2017 at 06:18 PM. |

Also, I can't see a setting to alter from PDOC to EBOK for the azw3 file I have. I'm checking other threads on this forum.

That "and" is unfortunate. ASIN + location should have been enough to implement syncing... but that would be to easy for Lab126. (just like it's was to easy for Kindles to just generate thumbnails from embedded book cover, regardless of book format & CDETYPE) |

How can I change cdetype in my azw3? There is nothing to edit that I can see in the metadata. Cf. to azw where it's obvious. So frustrating having to choose between no cover or no bold slider.

@Pjama-
Are you using Calibre to convert to AZW3?..if so, there is no setting to change. If you side-load the converted AZW3 onto your kindle by using the 'send to device' in Calibre you will have both covers and bold slider ability. (Be sure to select AZW3 as the first priority format to send to your particular device) |

For example, in older firmware versions you could sideload a cover thumbnail for a KF8 personal document. They added code to block that. |

Blocking covers for PDOCs is just spiteful. "Personal" banner was annoying but generic cover is 5x worse.
Without even considering all the newer stuff that is tied to KFX format there is still enough of things (X-Ray, Goodreads, Audiobook <> ebook sync ... ) to motivate people to buy from Amazon. |

My kindle Voyage hasn't updated yet. Do you think they are still distributing it? I usually wait rather than try to download the updates myself. I am somewhat techie, but not with my kindle. Too much to lose.

I'm converting all my mobis to azw3 and sending them via Calibre. It's working, but taking a long time.
I've now come across a kfx format book that isn't showing a cover. It's an omnibus edition so is quite a large file. I tried deleting it from my kindle, then resent it from Manage my Content, same problem. Then I tried deleting it and downloaded it from Manage my Content and transferred via USB to my kindle - still no cover. Has anyone else had this problem with kfx books? I love the new settings too, Barbara, especially as I'm returning to the kindle from a year with kobo. |

Thanks, but I wasn't using Calibre for this file, it came from my Amazon account. That's strange, isn't it?

It's perfectly safe to update manually. Download the file, copy it over, and choose update your kindle from settings screen. It will not let you update if you have the wrong file.
