I don’t understand how Amazon finds the former acceptable when the alternative of using hyphens exists. I then tried another micro USB cable, and that didn't connect the Kindle as a storage device, either (it charged it, though, just like before). Notice how much better the spacing is between words with hyphens added. I just connected my Kindle to my Mac with a regular micro USB cable, and while the Kindle charged okay it didn't show up as a storage device on my Mac and Calibre didn't recognise it, either.

Install Calibre and Apprentice Alf’s DRM Plugin, as described in this separate guide: How to Remove DRM From Kindle eBooks in 4 Easy Steps (DRM has to be removed in order to modify or convert an ebook).Ģ. Below is a quick install and setup walkthrough:ġ. Note: See the complete guide and install instructions for Hyphenate This! on this thread at MobileRead.

This will probably be my last update on the matter.The plugin is called Hyphenate This! and it works with AZW3 (KF8) and ePub formats, so you can use it for other devices as well. UPDATE3: I can't find anything about supporting 'Search this book' from the main menu for KFX, but it looks like once you are in the book, the search feature works fine (from the search bar). I sent a few epubs as a test and they did indeed convert and appeared as. ago So far Ive found it to be a bit iffy. I believe Amazon now accepts epubs and will convert it for you before sending it. Step 2: To add the DRM-free book you’ve downloaded, simply drag it from the folder to the Calibre window and it will be imported. You can also email yourself from Calibre, as long as youve set up an email address for your Kindle device. As for searching through the book, I'll have to keep digging. Step 1: Connect your device to the PC with the bundled USB Cable. So it looks like we'll have no luck having both 9-page page flip and x-ray. (Books in KFX format can make use of X-Ray if they are marked as books instead of personal documents, but there is currently no X-Ray file creator that works with KFX format.)

The X-Ray feature is not currently available with sideloaded KFX books.

UPDATE2: Just looked through the KFX Output MobileRead's page and found this section under 'Warnings and Limitations': I'll keep working on it & see if there is any other way. UPDATE: Converting from Epub to RB to KFX does not seem to allow for anymore functionality than just converting to KFX from epub.

I'm going to try that and see if it allows for full functionality. It says that converting from epub to RB to KFX 'works okay'. I did come across this page on MobileRead. And after searching I see that the format I use does NOT actually support this, but I'm looking into it. Okay, so I reread your post and realized that I have no idea what 9-page page flip is. You will just have to decide which of these features is most important to you and use the format that supports them. And while 'Search this Book' from the homepage does not appear to be supported with KFX, using the search bar inside the book seems to work fine. After installation, you just have to remember to specify the resolution of the e-reader (1236×1648 for the Kindle Paperwhite 2021, 1072×1448 for the Kindle Paperwhite 2018). It is not possible to use 9-page page flip and x-ray on the same side loaded book because of KFX conversion limitations. The Prettify cover plugin for Calibre simply allows you to resize the covers, with several options depending on the format of the cover.
