I also find that Kindle previewer usually displays exactly what I see on my Kindle (clear down to the justification glitches due to no hyphenation ability). Once you know what kindlegen expects for input, the output is very predictable, consistent and identical to the output from the "alternative options." Or is it something everyone else knows about? I can't find anyone else having this problem. I am puzzled as to why I seem to be the only person having this problem with the Kindle Previewer. I can open files with Mobi Reader and I can also transfer them to my Cybook 3 reader, which reads Mobi/ Kindle files.

Here is another aspect: ebooks for Kindle use the same file as mobi, with a different extension (prc). I have re-downloaded it, reinstalled it twice, always with the same result. Is this a Kindle Previewer problem? If so why isn't there more queries about it? That leads me to believe it is only my problem. I want to see if it looks okay before uploading it. But I assumed it would show the cover correctly. I've read elsewhere that the Kindle Previewer does not show internal images correctly when samples are downloaded. The covers do not fit in the Kindle Previewer when the Kindle DX and Kindle are selected.

I have also downloaded a free ebook, complete, which also has the same problem. All have exactly the same problem as I have with my ebooks. I have downloaded 3 ebook samples from Kindle (at random). 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. #1 selfdrive 01-19-2012, 12:53 AMI have made a book using html and MobiPublisher.
