I don't mind sending it - if I had an address .... I don't see anything obvious with the file - but then I don't know what your routine is looking for - but in the interest of experiment I will send (erotica though !)

version 1.1.1201
I uploaded a new version of MobiHandler: version 1.1.1201. As always, it is on SkyDrive and the file name is mobihandler-1-1-1201-setup.msi.
This version should work with both Kindle for PC version 1.4 and 1.5. Some other bugs are also fixed, including GeoffC's. alansplace's and Onemack's are still open, though. I again adjusted slightly 64 bit operations. I hope it improves compatibility with 64 bit OS. However, I notice that some strange cover-image-unavailable problem on 64 bit, sometimes. I want to see more feedbacks on this issue. Alissa |

Can you try selecting one of the all-white icons on a Explorer window and see what appears on the status area (i.e., the bottom of the Explorer window)? If you are experiencing the case (1), the left most info on the status area should be the filename (as opposed to the book title) and a default file type name "AZW File". If it is the case, I'd recommend to uninstall both K4PC and MobiHandler, then reinstall them (or, K4PC only) again. If you are experiencing the case (2), the left most info on the status area should be the book title (as opposed to the filename) and the book author. If it is the case, I have currently no solution to the case (it is my #1 priority issue at the moment), but one of the following may help:

Hey Alissa,
Is there any chance you could do a similar shell extension for EPUB books? |

Hmm. I want to examine the file by myself. Can you give me a pointer to an example of those 30 azw files, e.g., a download URL if it is available on the net, or ISBN/ASIN/accurate title if it is on Amazon.com. (Free or inexpensive one is preferred. )

The current version of MobiHandler can't show a cover image of a mobi/azw file unless Kindle device shows any on the book's details view (use the RIGHT button on the book on the HOME screen) as in the attached screen shot. Amazon Kindle for PC (and possibly other Kindle software, e.g., Kindle for MacOS or Kindle for Android) may show cover images even in case Kindle device can't. (See this thread for details.) Also, even if your kindle device shows something appearing as a text-only cover, it may not be a cover image. It can be the first text page of the book. If anybody has an example mobi/azw file that Kindle device shows a cover for it while MobiHandler doesn't, it should be a bug of my MobiHandler. I love to examine the file. Otherwise, MobiHandler showing no cover image is a behaviour by design, and I can't fix it. Last edited by Alissa; 05-25-2011 at 05:26 AM. Reason: Attached the screen shot and adjusted some wording |

i only have a few unaltered azw's on my kindle, but can say this. the ones that show a graphical cover on my k3 also display that same cover on my win7 pc. the ones that don't show a graphical cover on my k3 display the all-white page shaped default icon on my win7 pc. sorry that i misunderstood the original question. i would like to see your program display mobi/prc covers as well. good luck |

I'm sorry I know my English is not good enough to explain complicated conditions like this... I hope you get an accurate idea what I mean. If you are experiencing the case 1, I believe it is a bug of MobiHandler, and I want to examine the mobi/prc file that causes the issue. If you are experiencing the case 2, well, I hope I could make the MobiHandler to show cover images from those mobi/prc files, but I'm not sure I can do it (as in the case of K4PC only cover images.) Anyway I want to know more details of your case. |

In your windows explorer window, have you tried using the menu in "more options":
For me, the default book icon is displayed for the "small" selection and the book cover icon is displayed for the "medium", "large", and "very large" selection: |

so i changed the default app for mobi files (which i won't do permanently) to kindle for pc. well then the graphical icon was displayed. it appears that alissa's mobihandler app is dependent on kindle for pc. ....upon further experimentation after i change back to default to reader.exe a few (perhaps 10% or less do not) change back to the reader.exe icon.
