Convert asc to android format
Hi,
Could you add a feature to your program to convert x-ray data in asc to android's sqlite format? Thanks! |

Actually it does not work with any book that I've tried so far. First tired it with Stephen King's "The Stand". |

Any specific reason why you want to convert rather than build from scratch? Converting asc to the sqlite format isn't as good as making a new one, there are multiple features missing from the old format. If it's just a matter of characters & descriptions, I could probably add a feature to pull the character info from the .asc as well, so it can be exported to XML and used to build the new format...

Edit: I've uploaded a new version (d) to the first post. When books had more than 5 characters, Goodreads shows a 'more' button and has a hidden section there so it wasn't grabbing them all. The new version should download all available characters. Last edited by Ephemerality; 07-03-2016 at 02:38 PM. |

I managed to obtain a asc file and wanted to load it into my Android Kindle. Exporting and rebuilding will work for me too. Thanks!

Probably better this way anyway, unless the 'obtained' asc file came with the book in question. |

New error I haven't seen before:

Anyway, I have uploaded version f to the first post that should fix that (for the book you were using at the very least). That particular book was written by a different author than the rest of the series so it was having some issues finding the previous one on Amazon. I also fixed the Goodreads parsing that was causing it to find those Korean versions. Let me know how it goes! |

Another thing I have noticed is if you simply replace the XRay file in the Kindle with a new one, when you try to open XRay for that book on the Kindle you simply get "Sorry, an error has occurred".
It seems if you generate a new XRay file you have to remove the book from the Kindle and re-add it. |

In that kind of case, you'd want to modify the chapter file manually so that the end of part 1 matches with the beginning of part 2, end of part 2 matches the beginning of part 3, etc. Quote:
Not on my end. I've never even seen the actual 'about this book' page, mine has always taken me to the store. Still no idea why |

For some reason, the XRAY files are not been recognised by Kindle. Book for which I am trying to generate the XRAY is "The devotion of Suspect X".
I am transferring the books to Kindle through the "Email to" option in Calibre. Can this be a problem? |

When you do the email option, the metadata on the book gets changed. |

Yes. The send-to-email feature adds the book to Amazon's Cloud and overwrites the ASIN with one that identifies it as a PDOC from the Kindle Cloud.
You must transfer the unmodified ebook, which means sideloading. Edit: ninjaed... |
