For LibrarianSync, all you need to do is copy the librariansync folder (from the GIT master) to the extensions folder.

I'm not sure if @NiLuJe has updated his python snapshot yet (there's a bug in the Dec 10 release) so you might need to modify some python libs (instructions in the LibrarianSync thread).

Not yet, but hopefully tomorrow if all goes well

Package 'Update_librariansync_1.10_kindle5.bin' (librariansync 1.10 kindle5) is not targeting your device [0PP vs. 11 0F 10 24 1B 1C 1D 1F 20 D4 5A D5 D6 D7 D8 F2 17 60 62 5F C6 13 54 53], skipping . . .

That is a PW4.
Ref: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers

v1.10 - fixed when getting a null cdetype, added Voyage support.

That librariansync version number is much, much, much older than the PW4.
It can't possible support something that was not yet engineered by Amazon.

Translation:
The message is correct, you have the wrong (too old) file.

I hate to ask, but how does it get copied? I am at this page and right clicking does not allow me to copy anything but a link address, which is not what is needed. I can open the files and copy the contents, but that is not doing what you describe above. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Somehow I managed to get Librarian Sync working just now, but I would still like to know the answer to my question.

Thanks everyone for the help! I was able to fix as described in the post "https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3787648&postcount=409"

Basically there's an upcoming python hotfix / latest snapshot of python installation going to fix this issue. Until then wait or do it manually as the above thread suggest!

For now, all methods in librariansync works for me on PW3 and PW4. You people are awesome in helping each other

Please read the first full sentence of the first post again.
The one which starts: Important to note ...

Technically, that first notice is incorrect as that was written prior to the discovery of factory fw 5.10.0.2. Granted, the edit at the end of the first post explains everything.

Those images are too small. The PW4 resolution is 1080 x 1440.

Actually, it is 1072x1448.

Thanks for the correction.

@samflynn,
You can upscale images without loss of quality via http://waifu2x.udp.jp/ for example.
Then just crop/shrink to exact resolution via any image editor.
