I was wondering if there is a way to tell KCC where to find kindlegen?

I am on a Mac, and tried to create .mobi version for the first time. I have kindlegen installed and in my path, but when I attempt to do the conversion, I get the following message:

Cannot find KindleGen! MOBI conversion is unavailable!
Install it using Brew.

My problem is I am already using MacPorts and don't want to install Brew along side. I have kindlegen downloaded straight from Amazon instead.

I should note that the path I am talking about is from my .profile (ie: read by the shell) and not ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. I am launching KCC by doing:

open XXX.cbz

Any workaround I can do? Thanks!

I'm trying to compile from source on Windows 7 so I can make a small title related change to my converted kindle files (instead of the title volume suffix to be " V04" I want " Vol. 04" for example). Running python 3.7, installed pyinstaller via pip, when I run setup.py there are no errors but my exe comes out to 6.15MB instead of the 25.9MB of the binary I downloaded that works. Seems like I'm missing something dumb. Any suggestions?

Edit to add: In case it wasn't obvious from my question, the 6.15MB exe does not run properly. It crashes immediately and I get a windows dialog offering me consolation and a few useless crash files in my temp directory.

Edit 2: Just noticed the warnKCC.txt file in the build folder with a lot of missing modules. Do I have to go install all of these things somewhere???

Building working EXE is beyond black magic. I don't even try to debug it for you. Not sure if current version of PyInstaller can do it correctly. Also not tested Python 3.7 yet.

Totally fair. Can you advise me on what versions of python and pyinstaller you use to build the exe then?

Last build was using AppVeyor, Python 3.6 and PyInstaller fork - https://github.com/bjones1/pyinstall.../pyqt5_fix.zip.

This helped a lot! Managed to get it compiling. Thanks for the help and the great software!

Hello everyone,

I recently downloaded some mangas, and I want to convert them to .mobi files. However, after examining the .cbz files, it appears that all of the images are in .webp file type, a type that doesn't appear to be supported by KCC. Any tip ?

Thanks in advance !

I am using an iPad Pro 9.7 and an iPhone 7 as ebook/comic readers. Since the sync functionality with ibooks is pretty useful, I don't want to miss that.

So I tried to convert some .cbz files to .epub files. It worked - but every file is cropped in my iBooks app. On the lower edge I am missing like 1cm of every picture.
I am sure it has something to do with the aspect ratio. When I try to upscale the pictures it will just upscale the height, but not the width. The width will stay on the same ratio as the source file. It's because your software will not fill any margins if I try to convert to epub. When I tried to convert cbz->cbz everything worked as expected.

What am I missing?

@Djynn - Currently I can only suggest to convert images inside to PNG format. Next release should support WebP.

@pmr_ - Upscale option will never break image aspect ratio. Stretch should force to use more screen. Additionally I'm quite sure that iPad/iPhone have some proper app to read comics/manga without any conversion and using KCC might be a waste of time.

If it's just sync, I use ComicGlass (since 2011) for reading CBZ/CBR/CB7 files natively. Hadn't realized until recently but it has added a feature to sync bookmarks via iCloud and I find it works quite seamlessly.

OK, I'll try that ! It's quite complicated to convert the whole directory at once, but I'll see if I can find something. Thanks for the answer, and the life saver software ! Any idea when the next release should be published ?

EDIT: For anyone having the same problem, after a few days I discovered XnConvert, which is amazing ! I highly recommend it, it is very simple to use and can convert entire batches of images, it really makes life easier.

Something else that is very easy for the new kindles is for you to make a zip of the pictures that you are wanting to see as a comic. Works perfectly for me, no converting.

Only if you jailbreak. Personally, not a fan of KOReader for manga. Image renderer isn't as good as native Kindle. I'd get plenty of boxy artifacts and whitish areas areas are rendered as gray.
