Install Gentoo posted:I don't think it's fair to say that for Mobipocket. Mobipocket's tech is what runs all their reading stuff, they bought them 2 years before the Kindle came out. The used Mobipocket's format for Kindle, but Mobipocket's existing customers got screwed when they cut off support for their software.

I wonder what one of those would cost if all that it had to do was convert handwritten pages to pdf and save them in the cloud somewhere? No ebook/pdf rendering, no web browser, and no bookstore. Just infinite notepad.

bull3964 posted:Amazon must only give you that option if you own a physical kindle. I do not. If you don't have an actual Kindle device then the only option is the install the Kindle app on a desktop computer, download the books that you want, then retrieve the .azw files from wherever the app hides them on your hard drive. edit: The Kindle cloud reader has an offline reading option so there may be a way to retrieve a file from your browser's cache after downloading it that way. I don't see anywhere obvious to find the downloaded files with a quick look through my Chrome user directory though. withak fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jul 5, 2013 |

tarepanda posted:The desktop or wherever you saved them? Wherever the app keeps them. On a Mac it is somewhere in ~/Library/. On a PC it is probably somewhere in %userprofile%\Local Settings\ or in %appdata%. The filenames are obfuscated but they will have .azw extensions and the metadata will be there. Probably there is a way to make Calibre auto-import anything new in that directory. withak fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Jul 5, 2013 |

The problem is probably more that publishers don't care enough to set up their epub formatting to correctly handle technical stuff.

I already use Calibre to load on the free books I download, but have no idea where to get started getting Kobo ebooks onto my Kindle. Google "kobo drm calibre" for some possibilities.

They probably mean a hypothetical error message saying something like "Sorry, this ebook is licensed for reading in the UK only" before it dumps you back to the library screen. Amazon doesn't actually do this, though publishers would probably like them to.

Ignore the minor updates and just get the major ones unless you are having problems with something. Updates usually come with a pretty good changelog so you can also look and see if anything in the update matters to you (nothing probably does).

Install Windows posted:I've been repairing the really awful Table of Contents in a large book in Calibre, the problem is that there's hundreds of stray TOC tag things in the HTML files in the format of "<p id="ue261af8b-3721-436f-9b36-437ec202f947">" and the like where the faulty entries led. How can I clear out these unused id tags so that only the ones for the actual entries remain? In the "Convert" dialog there is a search-and-replace section. Hope you like regexps.

Install Windows posted:There is no convert dialog in the edit book system/workflow. I've never used the edit tool. The S&R option is under the dialog that you use to convert book formats. Right-click -> Convert books -> Convert individually... I guess you are supposed to make the ToC corrections in the editor then strip out the leftover tags in a conversion.

Is there a way to customize the new, working tags? Like give them some identifying info that a regexp can detect? Also, does leaving a bunch of dead ToC anchors in really matter?

I don't know exactly how ToCs usually work or whether there is other important formatting stuff in your file, but can you strip out all of the html and regenerate the ToC from scratch?
