As stated, one way to prevent this is to edit the book before conversion to remove the ASIN from its internal metadata. Another method is to intentionally add an invalid mobi-asin to the Ids field using Edit metadata, before converting the book. If you enter mobi-asin:? there it will override the ASIN present in the format that you are converting from, resulting in the intended behavior. |

Today I had a conversion fail repeatedly because the plugin didn't recognize reflow-style 11.
I cheated by editing the plugin and adding 11 to the list of "known" reflow-styles, and the resulting KFX opened in KP3 and on my Oasis. No idea what triggered it. I don't think I can upload the book in question and scrambling it actually resulted in a successful (though useless) conversion. Debug log (from the failed attempt before editing the plugin) is attached. Last edited by thetyrantcbass; 11-05-2018 at 06:56 PM. |

I had not seen reflow-style 11 in any books previously. Support for this will be in the next release of the plugin. |

Version 1.24.0 - 11 Nov 2018
Detect Previewer versions up to 3.28 and remove support for Previewer versions older than 3.24. (Newer Previewer versions produce better results.) Support additional KFX features. (reflow-style-11) |

As always, thanks for keeping the plugin up-to-date, jhowell! You’re efforts are greatly appreciated.
Quick question: Are you aware of a way to tell Kindle Previewer that a certain page in an epub doesn't require Enhanced Typesetting and will/can therefore fallback to KF8 rendering? Some tag or special <div> or other that Amazon doesn't like to talk about, perhaps? I have an epub anthology that uses SVG to create diagonal lines and rectangular shapes under the story title. These story titles are independent of the story itself and are on separate HTML/XHTML files. Just thought I’d ask. I know that Enhanced Typesetting does not support SVG images according to the Publishing Guidelines. Seems they should be able to support some sort of fallback. |

When a book contains a feature that is not supported by KFX format it will fail to convert. For books sold by Amazon those will be marked "Enhanced Typesetting: Not Enabled" in the Product Details. In that case the fallback is to use one of the older formats for the entire book, usually KF8 (azw3). There is no fallback for just part of a book.

How about adding option in plugin options or conversion options to always create invalid asin so we preserve our created covers and not replaced by amazon covers if we want ?
Thanks Alot |

Hey Jhowell,
First of all thank you for the work here! Its very helpful and its awesome that you are helping people out and updating this!We all really appreciate it. I was just working on moving my Nook library to the newest Kindle, and after all the hassle of research and downloading and installing all the right programs and converters etc, I finally got all but ONE of my books on the Kindle. The one book that would not get converted by the Calibre with the KFX plug in, is the Wheel of Time novel. It seems to me that the size of the file is the real issue. While most books are just few megs, this thing is 40. The converter usually hangs up at 67%, and stops with the fail message after 14 minutes (or so). The sucky part is that I really would like to have that novel on the kindle, and I really don't want to buy again but through the Amazon, as the whole thing is about 120 bucks. Any idea what can be done about this to get the plug in to push through with it? Here is the link to the screen cap with the error: https://i.postimg.cc/HsSH9RXS/Calibr...-screencap.jpg Thanks in the advance for any help! |

In the mean time you should consider Kaan88's suggestion of using ExtractCoverThumbs to overwrite the cover thumbnails on your Kindle to match the covers in the book files. |

That book contains "data-AmznRemoved" and "data-AmznRemoved-M8" attributes left over from the original Kindle source that are being rejected by kindlegen. You can search for and edit them out using the calibre editor to work around the problem. The next release of this plugin will remove them automatically.
