But what about all the other useful info in this thread that's not in the first post? That would also need to be moved to the new thread. That means reading the thread from the start to find out what should be kept.

If no one cares to make a weeded NEW thread, then they can find it where the old thread falls. I have been here at MR for a decade + There are many new (and some old timers) posters that never bother to look. Look at the number of questions that have new threads started, All within a few days for the same issue |

Hello.
I have a slight problem. I got a "print replica" book from Amazon, with a few images, but not a gigantic one (6.2 Mb). When trying to convert to EPub I get this message after about 10 seconds : "Cannot convert [title of book] Exception('This book has a layout that is incompatible with calibre conversion. For best results use either the From KFX user interface plugin or the KFX input plugin CLI for conversion.')". I checked, and it seems both plugins are indeed installed (I've had no issue converting other KFX books). (Last time I tried to convert a "print replica" book was before I made the change to the "new method" : I don't know whether it was technically the same process, but the book was in AZW4, I used the 1.17 Send-to-Kindle and it worked.) If this is any help, the book's ASIN is B0BWYKNTYS. Does someone have any idea about what causes the problem and how I could solve it ? Thanks a lot in advance. " |

Exception error message text instructs you what you should do.
For details you need to read KFX Input plugin documentation here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...76&postcount=1 Read text inside " "From KFX" toolbar action" spoiler and "Command Line Interface" spoiler. Last edited by shamanNS; 05-24-2024 at 02:09 PM. |

Print replica and azw4 are PDFs wrapped in Kindle "giftwrap" and we know how unsuccessful converting PDF to epub is. Read the above to learn to extract the PDF, if that's what you want.

Stuck with KCR files
So I bought a book and I am only getting KCR files. I am on Mac.
I've tried Method B with several old versions of Kindle for Mac, to no avail, I am still only getting KCR and mbpV2 files. The book in question is dated November 2021. If anyone could lend a hand liberating this book, it would be great. Thank you. |

I tried removing and adding the book again, several times in various combinations with installing/uninstalling old Kindle for Mac versions, but sadly it did not work. Only thing, I could not find Kind for Mac version 1.25.2, though maybe it does not matter? Just in case it is relevant, my MacBook is running Sonoma 14.5 |
