KFX page numbers missing?

Hello there,

This is my first posting here. I've been converting epub to KFX for my kindle. AZW3 page numbers work fine but the formatting isn't as good as KFX.

I'm using Calibre with the output KFX plug in to do the conversion. Could some kind soul give me some pointers here? Thanks.

The creation of page numbers for KFX format is controlled by the "Create approximate page numbers" setting in the KFX Output tab of the conversion dialog.

You asked a about KFX files sizes on another platform. The main reason why it might be reduced is the Output Profile selected in the Page Setup tab of conversion. Selecting Tablet will disable the down scaling of images.

Thanks for the help. I have the paper white 5. It’s currently set to Paper White 3 (1072 x 1430 pixels). Is this the correct setting? I’ve got the page numbers but I notice that some pages stay the same number for at least 3 taps, my front is size 5. Is that quite normal? Thanks so much.

Calibre will downscale images so that they do not exceed the pixel dimensions of the device. But that does not take into account the Kindle's ability to magnify images to show more detail.

I recommend using the Tablet setting. That disables downsizing of images.

That is normal. Page numbers on Kindle a based on print pages. Those fit more text than a Kindle screen.
