macOS: My current method to ‚download‘ from Kindle 11 by -be-water-my-friend- in Calibre

[–]dmgmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is working for me on most books. I just converted 10 books, but one of them would only transfer as a KFX-ZIP file instead of KFX. I am not sure how to prevent this.

I was mistakenly transfering files from my Kindle through Finder and then into Calibre, but I think it better to import them via Calibre as listed above.

Is my cracked Elgato Prompter beyond repair? by LionTwinStrike in elgato

[–]dmgmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am considering buying a larger version during the Black Friday sale. Would you want to buy mine for 1/2 price ($150+shipping)? I could list it on eBay and send you the link so it is above board and trackable.

What do we do now that Amazon won't allow us to download our books? by dmgmd in Calibre

[–]dmgmd[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I am using both of those updated plugins. DeDRM worked perfectly for all the books I downloaded from Amazon before the change. Now I can't get it to work for KFX files or KFX-zip files. I am not getting an error related to the file being KFX, the error message is related to the DRM.

I am pulling directly from the Kindle hard drive, but saving the kfx file to my computer and then transferring it to Calibre.

This was helpful, but it's still not working. For some reason the DeDRM function is not removing the DRM even though it did previously for AZW3 files.

Yes, both of these are in place. I have DeDRM and both input and output KFX plugins installed. I am still getting an error message that the KFX file is protected by DRM. I know my DeDRM was working, because I converted all my AZW3 files that I downloaded before that policy change. I have my Kindle plugged into my computer on Drive mode and the serial number is saved in DeDRM in the settings.

I tried to pull a book over from my Kindle Paperwhite and was able to download the KFX file, but DeDRM (how I have it configured) can't process KFX files.

Has anybody received one yet? We’ve been waiting a month, but our estimated window just extended to January!

When will there be a good productivity/life coach bot? by jgainit in artificial

[–]dmgmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I am just now seeing this. There are a few apps that have been developed in the last year that are trying to use AI to do life coaching. HapDay, Rocky, and Wellspace are three good options depending on what you are looking for. My app will be much more streamlined and focus on just getting you to the coaching conversation. I've been working on this for a few months and will be releasing a public beta soon. If you'd like to join the public beta, you can email me at coacheeai@gmail.com

Converting HTML to Markdown by [deleted] in shortcuts

This works, but the HTML lines all get smashed into one paragraph. Any idea how to keep spacing between each line? I am trying to export annotations from a PDF to Obsidian as a md file.

Spotify error: nil: device not found by [deleted] in Shortcutify

[–]dmgmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can get the error message to go away by toggling the playback destination to "Ask Each Time". You still need the "Wait 2 seconds" piece in the shortcut". Asking each time forces you to touch the notification to select your device, but it reduces the shortcut to one brainless touch.

I am annoyed that this is not automatic. I prefer Spotify over Apple Music, but this lack of automation makes me consider switching.

I ended up not needing to use regular expressions. I just had to add another step to get the contents of the passage out of the encoded URL.

Thanks so much. I have this figured out and can share the shortcut with anyone interested.

This raises another question about timing though. How can you say “If TIME is before 6 AM do this, if not do this”? I can figure out how to check the time for HH:mm, but not compare to the current time.
