I think calibre ui got a problem with fixed layout conversion.
Calibre will suggest it when if you try to convert a kfx manga to epub.

Ah, ok. Yes, I only convert ordinary reflowable books, not manga.

Also like you can read on my own message we are talking a lot about calibre too (the usage of calibre cli for kfx manga conversion is calibre releted). It was here for 7 years, no reason to say it is wrong now.
It was wrong back then. But it was there for so long, nobody said anything. But now we have a new thread and it is appropriate to say it's wrong.

How to download Kindle eBooks has NOTHING to do with calibre. The calibre stuff here should be removed into a new thread and the how to download Kindle eBooks stuff moved to the Kindle forum.

This thread is a mess and needs to be fixed so it can have the bits that belong in the Kindle forum there and the bits that belong in the calibre forum there. And actually, the calibre bits belong in the Library Management as it's about adding eBooks. So again, the entire thread in is the wrong forum.

Actually the biggest part that is in the wrong forum is all the complaining about this thread existing in the calibre forum.

How about just taking all that whining to the Lounge?

So, why don't you simply put a sticky link to this thread in the Kindle forum.

Because that's linking to the wrong place. So np, that's not a solution. That's just exacerbating the problem.

If we're going to complain, I'd like to complain that this stickylocked thread links to the old locked thread.

I’m having an issue with a ebook cover not being displayed on the idle screen of my Paperwhite. The cover is displayed correctly when viewing the ebook in my library (smaller image). Other ebooks display the cover correctly on the idle screen.

I have disconnect and reconnected my kindle, which used to fix cover issues in the past.

Any ideas why this cover refuses to display on the idle screen?

probably because there is something about the image the kindle firmware doesnt like. The kindle firmware is extremely poor at dealing with jpeg images, rejecting various kinds of valid ones. Doing a conversion to mobi/azw3 in calibre will fix many such issues in the cover images automatically.

Hello. I saw that the thread I've used to get help converting Kindle to PDF using bluestacks.

Now, I've bought another kindle ebook, opened Bluestacks and it all the android services vanished, it's only games. I cannot find the kindle app on Bluestacks, even when searching on their google play. What's the best solution now?

thanks

See the DRM workaround: Kindle for Android thread. The first message has links to the Kindle for Android 4.16.0.75 and Kindle for Android 8.51.1.0 APKs.

Edit: Kindle for Android version 8.51.1.0

I need help converting and reading an ebook called 'How the Internet Really Works: An Illustrated Guide to Protocols, Privacy, Censorship, and Governance' using Calibre ebook viewer. I downloaded it using the Kindle PC app version 2.4.0 (70904). I have installed the deDRM plugin version 10.0.9 (the automatic alpha release with the latest changes) and the KFX Input plugin version 2.15.0, both of which are enabled.

These are the files that were present inside the folder named after the book's ASIN:

Code:
https://imgbox.com/WCTbLb5D
I imported the book using the "Add books from a single folder" option and selected the file with the .azw extension. Calibre imported the book, but it won't convert or open in the Calibre ebook viewer.

You may want to try the Automatic alpha release with latest changes version of DeDRM and download

Your log shows successful DRM removal. The next step is to convert your book from KFX into some other format.

Because that is a fixed-layout print replica book by default the KFX Input plugin blocks conversion of it using the regular calibre conversion dialog. The best choice is to enable the "From KFX" toolbar action and use that to convert the book to PDF format. See the KFX Input plugin documentation for details.
