Can you try sideloading the same PDF but converted to KFX or AZW3? (using Calibre tools and the KFX output plugin).


And if you got time, also try running the file through Kindle Create to convert it to KPF as j.p.s described:

No luck using Calibre to create a KFX or AZW3 file - I get errors each time. It could be me.

I am not an expert but created a KPF and tried to copy using Finder (I'm on a Mac) and had no luck - it could be me.

I was able to find a book that would not show the cover when first transferred but upon converting to KFX all was well.

When using "Send To Kindle" the PDF works on the Colorsoft (it's in color). It's not too bad, it makes me think when they create a Colorscribe it might work.

According to Android Authority (https://www.androidauthority.com/202...ading-3494778/), Amazon has stated officially that D&T won't work on any of the 2024 devices. The quotation appears below. I could not find the source of the quote directly.

Viz:

Customers can connect their new Kindle devices to a computer to transfer files. On Windows, it’ll appear as Kindle in File Explorer. On Mac, customers with the new 2024 devices will need to install additional software (e.g., Android File Transfer or OpenMTP). Customers can still transfer books and documents from their computer via USB or use the Send-to-Kindle service. They can no longer use My Content & Devices to download and transfer books to the new 2024 devices via USB. Content available in My Content & Devices is visible on the device in their Kindle library.
