Kindle Oasis no longer displays catalogs as periodicals
I've started to have problems with the way my Kindle Oasis (2017, firmware 5.9.6.1) displays calibre catalogs. Until recently, when I generated a calibre catalog in .mobi format and sent it to my Kindle from Calibre, it was displayed as a periodical, with Author, Title etc sections. Now it's displayed as a personal document, with no table of contents at all, and there's no way to navigate it. To my knowledge nothing has changed in the way I generate the catalog. Nothing is stuck indexing on the Oasis. I have the latest Calibre 64-bit on a Windows 10 computer.
What is really weird, both my Voyage and my Oasis 2016 are on the same firmware and still display catalogs correctly. Any thoughts, anyone? |

calibre's catalog subsystem is unmaintained, so nothing has changed there in a very long time. If it works on some kindles and not the others, it sounds like a bug on that Kindle.

Well, updating the Kindle to the latest firmware didn't change anything. So I just created the catalog in azw3 format now, instead of mobi. Still not a periodical, but at least it has a decent ToC and I can work with that.
