KFX conversion failed: CLI return code 00000005
Hello!

I am trying to convert an Epub to KFX using the Plugin KFX output (1.57.0) with Calibre in Ubuntu 20.4, with KindlePreviewerInstaller.exe (3.59.1) installed using wine-6.0.2.

I am getting the follwoing error:

Conversion error: Process Failure: CLI return code 00000005


Any suggestion, what can I do about this error?

It appears that there is a problem getting the Kindle Previewer to run under Wine on your system. I am sorry but I do not know how to fix that.

One possible solution is to run Windows in a virtual machine.

Version 1.58.0 - 27 Nov 2021

Detect Kindle Previewer versions up to 3.60.0. Version 3.60.0 adds support for additional list-style-type values.

Fix conversion to retain the creation date and multiple author names if present in the source EPUB. (Only the first author name will be shown on Kindle devices for books in KFX format.)

Fix embedding of metadata to maintain the order of author names when a book has multiple authors.

From the error message it appears that you have not installed Wine correctly on your system. I am not a Linux user and do not have any suggestions on how to fix that.

Did you already run Wine to install the Kindle Previewer?
That file should be there for every Wine installation. Does it exist and can you access its content?
Did you install Calibre via Snap, Flatpak, AppImage or something similar? That will not work. It must be installed directly in your system and not in a container.

I’m glad to hear it. Feel free to share any tips you may have on getting it installed and working.

I had a similar problem with wine 6.22 and 6.23 but it seems to be fixed with wine 7.0-rc1
I used KFX output 1.58 and kindle previewer 3.60 on Ubuntu 20.04

rescaling images
When converting an epub to kfx format, it normally reconverts the epub to epub like you said, before converting to kfx.

but during this process it re-scales all images to a lower resolution. (although not by much)

Can we change it, to not to re-scale images at all, so that all images remain in their original resolution?

The scaling of images is controlled by the Output Profile selected in the Page Setup tab of the conversion dialog. Choosing Tablet will disable the scaling of images.

(This is a feature of calibre, not specific to KFX conversion.)

Ooh

Thanks.. my profile was set to kindle oasis, that maybe why.

I saw that it was re-scaling images of lower resolutions too, and so i thought it might be related.

Cover images may be regenerated by the KFX Output plugin for compatibility with the Kindle's cover lock screen feature, but that should not change their dimensions.

The part of KFX conversion performed by the Kindle Previewer checks images for Kindle compatibility. I haven't seen that reduce resolution except for extremely large images.

If there is anything else going on with image scaling I am unaware of it.

Not sure if others have seen this, but I could not get the Kindle App on Android to see KFX files unless I placed them in Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files instead of Books, Documents, or any other folder the app had access to.
