Wow. Sitting on the sidelines is fun, although I'm not that much of a "wrassling" fan.
For what it's worth, I'm not going to worry that much about the relative value of this old iPad. It gives me a look at the iBooks version, which is looking good on an antique, so I think I'll risk it for the time being. And, for whatever reason, in finishing up, the azk conversion decided to work with Kindle Previewer, and my client tested it on her iPad and it looks fine. Since iBooks is such a small part of the market now, it's probably a waste of your valuable time to keep up the rants on my behalf. I appreciate it, but all is goodl And I agree, Hitch, Je suis Charlie. |

I've had no luck using Kindle Previewer converting to AZK. Apparently, any book that contains SVG just errors out when in iOS output mode. You may be running into the same issue. I reported it to Amazon. You should do the same. If enough people scream at them about it, they might just do something about the problem.

I know what is stated. However, my definite experience is that most of the formatting elements/features are displayed in KF7, not KF8, regardless of what anyone asserts. Most media-queries are ignored, utterly, or worse, BOTH are displayed (both the KF7 and KF8 elements). Hitch Last edited by Hitch; 01-28-2015 at 01:13 PM. Reason: added text emphasis |

In short, it's a bug in their toolchain. They're not aggressively stripping based on media queries, and then their code is freaking out when it doesn't know how to convert something that won't get shown anyway. I reported it to Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Quote:
Not that I had great confidence in Amazon before, but what confidence I had is rapidly waning. Last edited by dgatwood; 01-29-2015 at 02:29 AM. |
