How can I send a complex EPUB file via Send Kindle?
I was trying to send Python documentation that is available as an epub file here: https://docs.python.org/3/download.html

The file is not large (~7 MB) but very complex (many internal links and files).

I tried to send it via Send To Kindle (web or PC) and for several minutes I got a "Processing" message and finally "Failed. Please retry".

I also tried using Calibre to simplify the structure of this file, but to no avail.

Does anyone have an idea?

Use calibre to convert it to KF8 (AZW3) and send that to your Kindle. Send-to-Kindle is a mess and calibre really does work much better.

You might be better off starting with the plain text and making an ebook.

The epub has a number of errors in it (for example using Run check in calibre's ebook-edit). It also fails epubcheck (38 fatals, 1744 errors, 1 warning).

I tried importing HTML version and converting that to ePub with calibre. This also failed to check out.

Needless to say Kindle Previewer 3 also fails to convert: if this fails, Send To Kindle won't like it either.

It isn't clear what it will take to fix all of these errors, but until you do, Send To Kindle isn't going to be able to handle it.

Converting to AZW3 should let you side load and read it. I was able to convert it with calibre, (took around 15 minutes) but calibre viewer isn't able to open it (I gave it about 5 minutes). It does open on my Scribe and the links, ToC etc. seem to work okay.

That said, it is not clear this is more useful than just using a web browser when you need to look up some Python topic.

The Calibre viewer reads only epubs natively, every other format it has to convert on the fly. So if it took 15 minutes to convert the epub to azw3, the viewer will take about as long to open the azw3.

Unless you are "off-grid" or no internet for some other reason. But I agree, it's the kind of thing the Internet is good for and if you are doing python, then you are at a desktop computer, not just an ereader, tablet or phone.

Not only is this a complex ePub, it is riddled with errors, for instance, in the download chapter, they left out the leading portion of the download URLs and epubcheck was very unhappy with the ePub.

i.e. archives/python-3.12.1-docs.epub instead of https://docs.python.org/3/archives/p...12.1-docs.epub.

For what it may be worth, calibre on my desktop converted the ePub to azw3 in about 9 minutes spending most of that time sitting at 67%.

It looks like the python project wants ocumentation bugs reported to
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues

Presumably it is then up to the documentation team to report the bug to whatever package generated the EPUB.

I have filed a bug report but given the slowness of their bug system, I may not live long enough to see any changes.
