Amazon has released Kindle Previewer version 3.59.1. It is compatible with the current release of this plugin.

can kfx output support comic tag?
i have some mobi comics,they can use fullscreen display and cover thumbnail image,but cant display cover thumbnail on lockscreen. Once I transform them into KFX,files are tagged as EBOK, can display cover thumbnail on lockscreen.But cant use comic features such as fullscreen display anymore.
maybe changing tag from EBOK to comic will help.Would you mind add an comic tag selection? |

Also note that the comic features of KFX format don't work on Kindle devices, only in the iOS and Android Kindle apps. Comics on Kindle use a CDE type of EBOK. The differences between regular reflowable books and comics are more complicated than that. |

I am having a weird issue with some books I've converted to KFX. Not sure if it is this plugin or the source or not but thought I'd try here. Basically what happens is that I can put the KFX which I have converted in Calibre onto my Kindle Oasis just fine, but when I go to open the book for the first time it opens it at what seems to be the last page--it registers as being 100% complete. I'm unable to get to the start of the book unless I navigate to location 1.
Anybody else encountered this? Is there a fix, or something I am doing wrong? My usual workflow is to add the book (usually epub) to my Calibre library and then convert to KFX in Calibre. I'll then upload to my Kindle. |

As a test I imported this edition of Frankenstein into calibre, converted it to KFX format, and sent it to my Kindle Oasis using "Send to device". After ejecting the Oasis I opened the book and it opened to the front cover, which is what I expected since no starting position is set in the book. I am attaching the same KFX file here in case you want to try it on your device. (You will need to unzip it before importing into calibre.) You can also try converting the same original EPUB and see whether or not it works differently for you. |

Version 1.57.0 - 08 Nov 2021
Detect Kindle Previewer versions up to 3.59.1. Version 3.59 and version 3.59.1 contain no significant changes to KFX conversion. Add a fixup to force OPF ids to be unique to prevent various failures when converting books. The Kindle Previewer is improperly insensitive to case in OPF ids resulting in ids like "text" and "TEXT" being treated as identical. Add fixup to remove an extra HTML file that is sometimes incorrectly left over when calibre replaces the cover of a book. This prevents the final page of the converted book from containing a missing image icon (camera with exclamation point). |

I'm having a slight problem with the KFX output plugin.
I am converting books with two authors and when I look at the book on my Kindle, I only see the second author. If I send the same book as AZW3 I see both authors on the kindle. So in the Calibre author field I have "Author 1 & Author 2" Converted to KFX and sent to the Kindle I see "Author 2" AZW3 sent to the Kindle I see "Author 1 and Author 2" Has anyone else had this problem? |

The first is a bug that causes this plugin to not maintain the order of authors properly. I will fix that in the next release of the plugin. The second is that Kindle firmware only reads the first author from books in KFX format. Even if multiple author names are present only the first name will be shown in the Kindle library. This is true even for books purchased from Amazon. There is nothing that I can do about that. |

The second issue is odd, considering AZW3 shows both. I understand it is Amazon's problem and not your plugin. Thanks |
