@ dwanthny,
Thanks a lot for your answer. Following the thread you gave, I first supposed it was a Topaz file. As suggested, I looked at it (DRMd version) with Notepad++, but at the end of first line appears "BOOKMOBI" and nothing elsewhere like "TPZ". So I assume it's a MOBI format ? I downloaded and converted the sample (no DRM, so no need for the script), and it has the same problem : so it can't come from DRM removal script ! MOBI format, no script problem, can you think of anything else ? Otherwise I return it, and next time you're right I'd better try the sample first. But I'd like to understand (and I'd also like to read this book)... Thanks again for your help and sorry for the mistakes, English isn't my mothertongue even if I can read it pretty well |

Sadly, at the moment Amazon has no mechanism to pass any comments on the book back to the publisher when you return a book. |

What book did you purchase? Let me know and I'll download and take a look at the sample. You might want to inquire in the Kindle or mobi forums. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 01-19-2011 at 07:18 PM. |

Yes, the book looks fine in the Kindle App. I don't know how to look at it with the Calibre viewer though, because when I try to open the azw file in Calibre it opens with Kindle App.
The book is "The bone collector" written by Jeffery Deaver. But just as I write this I checked on Amazon and there are 2 versions. I downloaded the second sample and converted it, and it seems to work fine. Ugly no ? So it seems I have to return the one I got and purchase the other (same price). What sucks is that we have change fees in Europe... Thanks for your help anyways Last edited by Ankara; 01-20-2011 at 03:47 PM. |

Calibre to ITunes
When I edit the Metadata for some of my Epub books, although the listing in Calibre looks correct (Title, Author, Book Cover) when I add it to ITunes (from the Calibre listing) it still shows up with the "old" information and no cover. Any suggestions?
Thanks! |
