I note many people have internal problems with images. I have tried with different covers and created different books. I have experimented with changing the ratio, making it skinnier, smaller etc, but still the same. The cover is jpg 800 high 600 wide about 90kb. This works fine in Mobi Reader, K4PC, and using the downloaded Kindle Previewer, looks good in Kindle Fire preview, Kindle for iPhone, Kindle for iPad.īut when viewed in Kindle and Kindle DX, using the downloaded Previewer the right side and bottom of the cover is cut away. There are a few other things too like a Kindle image converter and HTML cleaner.I have made a book using html and MobiPublisher. Nice way to extract the text of a book without the formatting. Not relevant to the typesetting, but inside the app bundle for the Mac version of Kindle Previewer is a nifty little tool called MobiContentDumper that extracts mobi file contents to a JSON file complete with Kindle positions info. No surprise there since Textbook Creator isn’t designed for reflowable books. I tried rearranging the files to match KTC’s folder structure and that didn’t work either. On a lark I tried opening the kcb with Kindle Textbook Creator and got an error. In terms of output, you get a regular mobi, and if your book is given the Enhanced Typesetting stamp of approval, you can also find (hidden away in a temp system folder) the enhanced version as a kcb and kdf file plus a few resources, similar to the pre-compiled output of Kindle Textbook Creator. I’ll have to go through and re-add portions one bit at a time to see what styling trips the Not Supported flag. If I remove all styling from my source epubs, Enhanced Typesetting becomes available. So far none of the files I’ve tried have been compatible with Enhanced Typesetting, but I haven’t narrowed down why.
