Limit on the size of the files in Kindle?
Hi:
I have been converting files using calibre from .docx to .mobi without any problem (the size file is about 1 to 3MB) I have a new document with a lot of images, the total is 19MB. When looking at it in my Kindle, I only see a White page and it blocks my Kindle until I erase the file. What Am I doing wrong? Is there a limit on the size of the files. Thanks Emilio |

If you run out of space then yes. I put huge books on mine 25.0 mb so it holds a lot less in the est they give for the amount of ebooks. I suggest you remove the smaller books[files] then load the huge file.

What does the file look like when you try to read it with calibre's builtin viewer?
@Katie1 -- is there any compelling reason to think that being able to store fewer books at one time would result in the side effect of those books displaying no content? ![]() ![]() |

The largest book I've got *that loads* is The Complete Works of Anthony Trollope from Delphi. Just short of 32MB. So you've got something else going on.

Thanks... Yo are correct, the problem was gone when I changed the calibre version. Now I can read the 20 mb file. Thanks for your help. Emilio |
