[Conversion Output] KFX Output - Page 13

Hi! I guess, new plugin version is incompatible with MacOS?
I get this error:

Code:

Converting "/var/folders/fv/8tckks8n51vdvvgcfq4t2fwr0000gn/C/calibre_2.82.0_tmp__dFi37/V0y9VX.epub" to KDF/KPF

It was working with version 1.6.0 and KP3.7.1

Sorry about that.

I do not have a Mac and so I am unable to test changes on that platform. I have attached a new version of the plugin to this post, which I hope will fix the problem.

If someone using a Mac could download and install it and report back it would be helpful.

Edit: Problem resolved. Attachment removed.

Works again with the plugin attached above, thanks!

It works fine now, thank you!

Version 1.7.1 - 26 Mar 2017

Fix bug when running under MacOS introduced in version 1.7.0. (Fixes "TypeError: encode() argument 1 must be string, not None")

HowlerX · 04-11-2017, 05:18 PM

Annoying quirk discovered with the plug-in. Some epubs use a soft page break CSS:

Code:

.pageBreak {page-break-before: always;}

This plug-in will then move everything (text, etc.) that shows up after the page break at the very top of the new page disregarding any rules or spacing. For example, the text after my page break has a "margin-top: 25%" centered text but instead it shows up at the very top of the page. Kindle Previewer handles it fine btw, but it's one of those books that replaces double quotation marks with the weird symbols. (Any idea how I can fix these books in calibre, btw?)

There can be issues using page-break-before along with margin-top. See this thread for more information.

I don't have enough to go on to determine what, if anything, is going wrong. I am not going to loook into this further unless you can provide a sample file along with a description of how you think it should look and what is wrong when the plugin converts it.

Note: Even if you provide an example, if the problem lies outside of the plugin I won't be able to help. The plugin uses calibre to convert the source format to EPUB. (It does that even for books already in EPUB format, since it fixes many potential problems.) Then it uses Kindle Previewer 3 to convert the result to KFX. The plugin itself does very little manipulation of the source EPUB, nothing dealing with styles.

One more thing: If your EPUB has incorrect characters after conversion if can often be fixed using the "Encode HTML in UTF-8" option of the "Modify ePub" plugin. Do that before conversion to Kindle formats.

HowlerX · 04-11-2017, 09:27 PM

Thanks for your prompt reply. I've been playing with different files and getting different results. It's most probably a quirk in Kindle Previewer because I get inconsistent results just by allowing the Previewer to encode the epub and seeing the results versus passing the epub through Calibre/KFX plugin. I just resorted to splitting the html file to get the desired result. Want it to look like the actual books as much as possible.

Many thanks for the tip re: "Modify ePub" plugin.

Getting an error now in Calibre 2.83 and Kindle Previewer 3.9 beta on macOS Sierra 10.12:

That is a limitation of the Kindle Previewer, as documented in the first post of this thread under "Dealing with Conversion Errors".

There is a limit on the size of HTML tables allowed by the Previewer. If you want to convert this book you will need to edit and reformat it to split up or remove any large tables. (Unfortunately, the maximum allowed table size is undocumented.)

Hi jhowell,

Does this plugin still workon version 3.10

Amazon updated it yesterday.

If not, do you happen to have an installer for version 3.9?

I do not know if it will work with 3.10 and I will not have time to try it until next week.

I also do not know where you can get older versions. Sorry.

abogomolov · 04-28-2017, 01:35 PM

here you are: Kindle Previewer v3.9.0 (win)

Hi,

Paperwhite 3 on a German Win7/calibre 2.83, kindle previewer 3.9.0.

Trying to convert the Frankenstein-book, I get this error.

Spoiler:

Conversion works via kindle previewer.

Any idea?

I will not have time to look into this until next week.

I suspect the problem relates to non-ascii characters in the user profile path. I tried to make the plugin support this, but it may not be working properly.
