Convert books already in kindle
Hi giys. I have books already in my kindle. Is there a way to convert them so i don't have to remove all of them and put the new format in. I have a lot of books already in my kindle and it's in collections. (1 folder per series) it would be tedious to start from scratch.

What do you mean?
Why do you want to change their format if you can already read them in your Kindle? But to answer your question, there's no way to convert them and keep them in their collections. |

Hi thank you for answering. Well i had everything in azw3, and found out all were not properly hypenated. Altough i did used the hypenate plugin (maybe it didnt work?) Now i just discovered kfx format and it was somewhat more "right" and also added xray and word wise.

azw3 supports xray and wordwise.
If you convert on device each book will show up twice. |

Support for both is poor in either format. Azw3 also misses out on dropcaps, advanced typesetting and approximate page numbers. If I was OP, I'd convert a few books into kfx, then see if differences are worth it to convert the rest as well.

Oddly, I don't seem to find that azw3 misses out on dropcaps. See attached screen capture.

Top: KFX dropcaps. Notice how they become out of line when different fonts are used, and how text flow is off at third row because of extra tab space that would not be used if manual typesetting was used. Bottom: print dropcaps |

With KFX, you just set the size (which, admittedly, is still a bit of a pain, as it's nowhere close to the same number as in KF8 or EPUB) and the Kindle handles all the alignment, so that the drop cap has a baseline that is even with the baseline of a line of text, and the top lines up with the top of the first line in the paragraph. Spacing between the drop cap and the text is also automatic. KFX uses a method similar to the initial-letter property but with fewer features. I hope that Kindle conversion starts to support initial-letter soon. |
