Most of the work involved in converting to KFX is performed by Amazon's Kindle Previewer. There are some things that program does not handle, including fixed-layout books which includes the book you are attempting to convert. There is no good solution for converting this particular book to KFX format. You can read more about this in the Dealing with Conversion Errors section of the first post of this thread. |

Version 2.5.0 - 30 Dec 2023
Reposition tfoot elements to the end of tables to prevent Kindle Previewer conversion failure. (Fixes "Conversion error: Invalid Table Structure found in html") Improve the quality of cover images that need to be re-encoded into JFIF format for Kindle lock screen cover support. Ignore the case of file extensions. |

Is there a way to specify which available format of a book the plugin should use for the conversion?
I like to use the "Polish books" feature of Calibre to clean up my books a little. This leaves me with two versions of the book. A newly created .epub that contains all changes made by "Polish books" and my original version of the book, now renamed to .original_epub. Sometimes I then make some manual changes to the new .epub version of the book with the Calibre book editor. Like fixing some spelling mistakes or changing out some particular bad translation jobs. But when converting a book to the .kfx format, to send to my device, the plugin is using my .original_epub file to work with. Is there a way to change this behavior so the plugin uses my polished & manually edited version of a book instead of the original file? |

You need to delete the original format before conversion if you want to prevent it from being used. |

But converting to KFX is not something I do that often. |

Version 2.6.0 - 25 Jan 2024
Detect Kindle Previewer versions up to 3.75.0. When launching the Kindle Previewer include additional environment variables that be be needed for some non-standard Wine installations on Linux. |

Is it possible to revert to an older version of kfx-output? Something broke for me with this update.
Update: I was using calibre 5 and decided to finally update. This fixed the issue, whatever it was. Last edited by Slipkid; 01-28-2024 at 02:33 PM. |

Could you let me know what platform and specific calibre version you were using so that I can try and duplicate the problem? Oops! I found the problem and will release a plugin update shortly. Last edited by jhowell; 01-29-2024 at 10:38 AM. |

Heavy sigh!
I'm following instructions for installing. It says "download KFX Conversion Input Plugin(v2.6.0)" and there's a hot link to this page. All the discussion is quite helpful and all. But where, o where, is the file to download? I cannot read through 98 pages of discussion. Thanks! |

Whose instructions are you following?

You can also get the plugin directly within calibre by going to Preferences, Plugins, Get new plugins. That avoids the need to download anything. Pretty much the only case where you actually need to download a plugin for installation is the DRM removal plugin which is not hosted here at MobileRead. |

That error most likely means that there is something wrong with the Kindle Previewer on your system. I suggest uninstalling it and then installing it again.
