This works very nicely, giving me very good looking full screen viewing with panel view enabled. I didnt have to resize the comic in question (it was slightly too high resolution and worked just fine).
It would be quite convenient if this could process cbr/cbz files directly, btw (edit: though i guess that it can just be made part of batch script as well). |

However, the program works fine when I don't try to use a batch file. |

I have problems viewing comics on my Kindle Paperwhite. After following the steps from
I still have the same error, every subsequent page is a blank page, and it is not full screen nor panel viewable... I followed all the steps but to no avail... Any advice? |

That's strange. I built the program to target .NET 2.0 and after some googling, I guess there might be some strange issues with backwards compatibility... So I'm going to try targeting .NET 4.0 and hopefully people installing the latest .NET framework shouldn't have any problems.

If you can send me the generated files and/or a sample of what you were trying to convert, it would be helpful in finding out what's going wrong. |

Requirements:
What it does: The Kindle Paperwhite's image editor no longer stores last read location, so my solution is to create a .mobi Panel View comic book (images fill the screen). This program will generate the .html, .opf, and .ncx files for Kindlegen to generate the .mobi. How to use:

As reported earlier this works fine, but i can't get it to work with multiple chapter (ie images in subfolders). I get the following type of error:
Info(prcgen):I1049: Building table of content URL: <path>.ncx Error(prcgen):E24010: Hyperlink not resolved in toc (One possible reason can be that the link points to a tag with style display:none):<path> #8-00fc.html |

Okay, it was giving me the same error so I tried just putting everything into the folder with the images and that worked. So, I assume there's something wrong with my PATH setup. Anyway, when I input a name (for %comicname%) with spaces, it calls up the GUI and wants me to input the name again and manually select the directory. However, if I input a name with no spaces, everything goes through just fine. I don't know if this is a limitation of the program or batch files in general, just letting you know.
Otherwise, the only thing that could make this easier is to integrate a program to automatically reorient and resize the images and make it all usable from simple GUI with options for image size, greyscale, etc. |

I used Paint.Net to convert each page into 758x1024 in 8 Bit and the issue of blank pages has been resolved. Unfortunately, the pages still do not show full page. I have to zoom in to show it in full. Even so, when I go to the next page, it will automatically zoom out again.
Panel view still does not seem to work, even when I double tapped. I've added a video to show the issues I'm facing. I'm on the latest firmware (as you can see in the last part of the video) EDIT: Got it working already! Was using an earlier version of Kindlegen that did not support Panel view.

I have a question regarding images/comics on Paperwhite.
On kindle keyboard I could switch to landscape when viewing images - this worked great for calvin and hobbes comic, which is presented in landscape. I do not see that function in kindle paperwhite. Was it removed by amazon, or am I looking in the wrong place? (When I press the "settings" icon (3 bars) the only options I see are "Kindle store", and "Setting". No rotation options, no zoom options, nothing!) |
