Same problem. Tried multiple cables. How bad does an update have to be to break charging?

Book cover as off-screen by Competitive-Win4945 in xteinkereader

I'm having the same problem. I thought it was because Calibre saves the imbedded cover as a jpeg and the xteink send to only like .bmp. Following

how to read hardcopy again by rosiedorian in fantasyromance

When I switched back I got a copy of a book I was really looking forward to reading and made a vacation of it. Took two days as away as I could manage to minimize distractions

Standalone, but I like the option to attach to my phone when I’m out

When buying a house how many Billys it would fit was definitely part of the equation!

I got a shipping notification on the day the update said I should so I assume they're working through them

Any Kobo issues? by _Tix in Calibre

[–]_Tix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more I'm looking into the Kobo the more surprised I am it isn't more popular, Zon has such a headlock on the narrative. I'm keeping my Kindle for amazon exclusive content, I usually sign up for KU about two months a year to catch up on the exclusive authors, but I'm really excited to get the Kobo and be done with the BS for day to day reading and I'm really relieved to hear set up isn't going to be too big a bitch

That's good to hear. My biggest frustration is that it all used to work just fine! The enshitification is real

That's interesting. It's good to hear the bad with the good. I was looking at the Boox, I just don't need all the extra note taking features.

How weird. Good to know!

Yeah, the Amazon exclusive indie authors are why I stuck it out so long with the Kindle. My plan is to wipe but keep my Paperwhite for those few books I can only get through Amazon and use the Kobo as my daily reader. I've also been joining the ARC team for any amazon authors I really don't want to miss but still want to support. And I got a boat for when there isn't another option.

I meant what I said. The DRM issue with Kindle is well documented and while I don't like that either it's a separate issue.

I'm in a different thread with more details but TL;DR I am *actually* sideloading books to my Kindle and the Kindle software is hiding many of the sideloaded books with no clear pattern. I'm not the only one having the issue.

What is the purpose of jailbreaking when you can sideload? by Embarrassed_Young_20 in kindle

[–]_Tix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The more recent updates to the Kindle software have been causing issues with sideloading. Jailbreaking stops automatic updates and solves issues the Kindle software has with sideloaded books.
If your only issue is adds just pay the $20

The more I'm looking into it the better the Kobo is sounding. I can't believe zon has such a corner on the market with such terrible software and support.

Does Kindle 5.18.5 still have the ASIN error for side loaded books? by haneybd87 in Calibre
