I was getting following error while conversion: calibre, version 5.20.0 ERROR: KFX conversion failed: <p><b>Cannot convert Way of the Turtle: The Secret Methods That Turned Ordinary People Into Legendary Traders</b><br><br><b>Conversion error:</b> SVG specified in the content is not renderable in Enhanced Typesetting.</p> Can you help me how to correct this error. But when i converted the same book(epub) to first azw3 and then to Kfx format, it didn't gave any error. Could you explain why? |

The normal solution is to edit the book and either remove or replace the problematic SVG images manually before conversion. Quote:
It is common for EPUBs to use a cover page with an SVG image that encapsulates a JPEG image in order to show it full screen without distortion. When done correctly the Kindle Previewer can handle that case. Your book probably has an incorrectly coded SVG wrapper. |

Version 1.53.0 - 14 Jun 2021
Detect Kindle Previewer versions up to 3.54. Version 3.53 restores YJImageLayoutEnhancer and restores support for page-break-after:avoid and page-break-before:avoid. Version 3.54 includes support for vertical tables in horizontal books and vice versa. Issue a warning recommending that the Kindle Previewer be updated if the most recent version (as of the date of the plugin release) is not installed. Change cover images to use JPEG/JFIF format as needed in order to support the Kindle cover lock screen feature. (This is rarely needed since most cover images are already in this format.) |

Hypothetically
Hello mobileread dudes (: This is my first message, so excuse me if i'm asking 'wrong' questions in wrong places(and also excuse my english).
If i do jhowell's instructions can i benefit from KFX's advantages. I mean, after changing pdf, epub etc. to KFX can i use Page Flip and especially x-ray(this could be another topic but i really need this , hypothetically. And jhowell, can you explain "Amazon Kindle Previewer 3 should be installed in the default location under the same user account as is being used to run calibre." bit more please. I really don't understand. I know you'll answer this question as quickly as possible so, thanks in advance. (: |

I know x-ray is not related to kfx directly. But, there could be a possible 'contradiction' or something. And also, what is possible disatvantages changing another formats to kfx. Feel free to direct me another topic. Thanks (: |

To use X-ray an X-ray file must be created that matches the format of the book, KFX in this case. One way to create these file is by using the WordDumb plugin. The "Warnings and Limitations" section of the first post in this thread lists some potential disadvantages of using KFX format. |

Hello
Today I installed KFX output plugin 1.53 and Kindle previewer 3.52 for Windows 8.1. Using Calibre 5.20. Conversion from EPUB works as expected (I can normally open and read book using Kindle Previewer) but once I send book via email, it is not shown in My Content. Not in Books nor in Docs. I tried with "create personal document" checked, without it, with correct ASIN and without it, with both google, ASIN and ISBN tags... but nothing works. Can you give me some suggestion what should I try next? Thanks in advance Last edited by jetrica; 07-27-2021 at 10:25 AM. Reason: additional info |

Amazon will not accept books in KFX format via email. They must be sideloaded. See the "Usage" section in the first post of this thread for instructions.

So, no cloud backup for KFX. I was hoping I can use this new "show cover" option by converting to KFX and sending via email. |

The only way to get enhanced typesetting, cloud sync, and lock-screen covers to all work in the same book is to buy or borrow the book from Amazon. |

It's more of a shame that you are using that awful obsolete Mobi format.
