I've updated the beta in the post above to increase performance of a couple of the checks. Also another new option:

I didn't know that the option "Insert or replace cover" in the Modify epub plugin would also update covers to SVG covers without doing a calibre conversion. Very cool indeed |

Hi kiwidude,
Love your plugin, very useful. One small suggestion for the 'Fix MOBI ASIN' feature -- I think it could also apply to AZW and AZW3 files as well, not just MOBI. I think the basic formats are the same (at least as far as the EXTH header), and even on encrypted files these should be readable. Also, rather than generating a new UUID ASIN for the book, why not use the Calibre internal UUID? Cheers, -pwr |

@pwr - as I have posted previously I don't have a Fire so those check and fix options related to MOBI have been made "blind" based on other people's suggestions, and the question of other formats like AZW and AZW3 hadn't come up yet. I don't use those formats personally so I know nothing about them.
What QC options would such a change apply to - does that mean all of those "Check Mobi" menu options as well as the "Fix MOBI ASIN" one? And how sure are you about the EXTH headers being the same - can anyone else confirm it? I am also wondering if as per this post by Kovid I should add another Fix option to allow *removing* the ASIN/resetting the cdetype? Because it sounds like for *some* books due to bugs in the Kindle Fire then running the Fix MOBI ASIN option is going to give you a book that will crash? And that in such a case Kovid is recommending a conversion to effectively reverse those EXTH values? I really haven't bothered paying attention to any of this, the 4G Kindles were of no interest to me personally so if anyone has an opinion feel free to share it, I am not motivated to go hunting through loads of threads myself about it. Perhaps it may just be a short term thing and Amazon pull finger with a firmware release to fix it making it not worth worrying about. As for the UUID - to be brutally honest I had forgotten that a calibre book even had one . That is certainly an easy change to make. |

I'm not really sure how far the 'mostly the same' part goes for these formats, but before knowing about Quality Check I've written a small function to check the ASIN for a project of mine. It works fine on all my books, no matter the extension, whether they were generated by Calibre or imported from elsewhere, etc. Btw, KF8 is supported by the latest software updates on Kindle 4 and newer.

v1.9.0 Released
Changes in this release:
This is the last of today's plugin updates based around calibre 0.8.57, taking advantage of a new feature to store plugin settings inside the calibre library. The benefit of this is for users that store their library in a shared network location and use calibre from multiple machines (though never at the same time - that limitation hasn't changed!). Your plugin configuration settings which are specific to each library (such as custom column names, book exemptions, reading lists etc) will be automatically kept in sync when calibre is next opened on each machine. Specifically for this plugin it means that exemptions to checks you configure do not have to be repeated on each machine you open the library on. The other main change was for all of the MOBI related Check xxx & Fix ASIN features to also be run/performed on AZW/AZW3 files. Note that I am doing this "at your own risk" based on the suggestion of pwr above - if anyone reports an issue I can easily disable it. |

I updated this plugin today, ran the check for excess tags, and received the following error message:
Spoiler:
Is this a bug or something I need to fix? |

Sigh, copy/paste coding strikes again . It will be fixed whenever I release the next version, whenever I next work on it again, thanks.
