All I mean is just treat it as two separate things.
Download to Kindle as godAmazon intended. Buy book ==> Download directly from Kindle Import backups into calibre as per the K4PC method. No need to email anything. |

Oh ok. It's still a 3 step process any way you slice it.
BTW, it appears the double format (AZW3, MOBI) that I'm seeing is caused by the Adding books option under preferences, Automatic tab. Automatically convert added files to the currrent output format is checked on mine. (This per cybmole). |

The automatic conversion would do it, yes.
I leave it disabled, I can't really think of much use for it unless you mainly access calibre over the content server. |

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I am stumped with the same problem that victorhooi is having, and can't seem to find a solution on the forum. Just like victorhooi, when emailing ePub files converted to "dual" mode mobi to my kindle, some of those are received as AZW files, and the rest as AZW3 files. I can't seem to find a clear reason for this, or any way to predict which one it will be. I actually tried the sample files that victorhooi uploaded, and get the same results as him (book 1 is in AZW, book 2 in AZW3). Was this mystery solved in the end? Thanks! |

Hello all,
So I investigated a bit further, and it seems that it's an issue with Calibre. I converted some of my problematic epub files using Amazon's own KindleGen app, and after sending the file by email, the AZW3 file ends up being sent to the kindle. When I was previously converting the same epub with Calibre, the AWZ file was sent to the kindle. Hope this helps someone! Last edited by BionicGecko; 09-16-2016 at 01:13 PM. |
