Agreed, kobo has that and wish kindle did. It is a small problem given that with kinde you can hit the button on the bottom to see a 9 page grid of where you are currently. That is nice and something I wish kobo had...

Does that grid view now work for non-KFX books?

I've never seen page flip enabled or working on a MOBI/KF8 ebook. The page flip icon at the bottom of the page is always greyed out on my Paperwhite (10th gen. firmware 5.16.7) when I am reading a MOBI or KF8/azw3 ebook. Since Amazon at one time stated that Page Flip requires Enhanced Typesetting which, AFAIK, Amazon restricts to KFX, this is not exactly a surprise.

@DNSB Amazon started converting stuff you send via "Send to Kindle" or by email to KFX. And KFX PDOC is what gets delivered on Kindle devices and Kindle apps that meet some pretty arbitrary cutoff version number. Older that X gets azw3 gets instead, newer gets KFX.
And yeah, page flip functionality is still KFX only. |

As far as I knew you are primarily a Kobo user so I wasn't sure if you even were aware of KFX for PDOCs being a thing now. Last edited by shamanNS; 03-04-2024 at 07:49 PM. |

Connect your Kindle to your computer and browse to it's 'Documents' folder. It should be there. It probably is kfx. If it originated on Kobo, then it was in epub format, and Kindle doesn't really support epub format. When you send it to Kindle, it just converts epub into kfx.

That sideline is why I own a Paperwhite to allow me to test on an Amazon eInk reader as well as several apps. When you own the massive majority of the ebook market that Amazon does, studying the elephant is pretty much a necessity. |

No. You only get 1 page preview.
Note that all recently published books employ a KFX container, including the fixed layout formats, and they all support grid/Page Flip. An exception is Print Replica on Scribe. Anything you Send to Kindle in ePub, Word, or PDF format will be put into KFX container except for PDF on non-Scribe Kindles, which still get PDF. |

Yes, anyone that's involved in ebook production needs an eink Kindle, even if they do all their reading and proofing on a Kobo.

I’m curious, isn’t the Kindle Previewer PC app sufficient for this? Granted, I haven’t used it much, but the few times I did the rendering was identical to what I would get on my physical Kindle.

The old Kindle Previewer used to have the capability to display an ebook as if it was being displayed on a specific model of Kindle. That capability is long gone and the only selections are generic (tablet, phone, Kindle E-reader).
