How to Convert Manga and Comics to Read on Your Kindle!

[@glitchmill4795]

Guess who's not buying Manga and Books Anymore?

[@Jonnyinter1]

You've just made my new Kindle purchase 100x better, thanks!!

[@impheratrix]

PLEASE how did you download KCC? The 1st link doesn't work anymore and the second one is so confusing I'm about to give up for the 2nd time.

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Thank you so much! Glad it helped!

[@patricklechner190]

​@impheratrix I just saved the program file and double-click kkc to run it.

[@luan4474]

bro, video is perfect, organized in chapters and using arch +i3, you have my respect! :) the only thing I missed was a demonstration of how the manga/comic look like on the kindle screen, I don't have one because i'm trying to figure out if it is worth to buy for manga and light novels so it would be nice to see the final result and think if it is good or not.

[@osm1223]

did you buy it ?

[@luan4474]

@@osm1223 nah, I ended up buying an e-reader from other brand like Onyx Boox, got an Meebook P78, which is a Chinese e-reader, but an Onyx Boox or Pocketbook would have done the same, just got it because getting any of the other I mentioned would be a pain to ship to my stupid ass country.

[@Bilchuck0511]

That's so hard tbh, but also explained super well! Thanks very much

[@Colombian_MrClean]

Thank you for doing this, been looking for minute for a solution and this needs to be on all of the forums I was reading!

[@CousinCreepy]

Worked great thanks! One tip, convert these files to EPUB then add to Calibre and then convert to MOBI - works like a charm!

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Good to know! I heard of people having some issues with comic conversion with Calibre, but if it works it works

[@CousinCreepy]

@@EricMurphyxyz it's an extra step but it seems to work - just tried it with a bunch of old magazines (National Lampoon, Omni and Famous Monsters of Filmland) and converting straight from Calibre makes a mess of them but - cbr to Epub with KCC then epub to mobi on Calibre works a charm (so far anyway). Thanks for the video, good job!

[@abc98114]

In the 'Important Tips' page it says "Don't convert files created by KCC with Calibre! Any conversion process will corrupt the file!".

[@CousinCreepy]

@@abc98114 perhaps it's subjective to the file, I've had no issues with this yet - it could just be a warning and not an absolute, like a disclaimer. Anyway, you can experiment as the original file reamins intact - if there's an issue only the copy will be corrupt, not the original. A little trial and error won't hurt. Good luck!

[@eink-reviews]

Please don’t. Calibre adds margins.

[@izzatihassan1475]

thank you. I terribly needed this to work because I read translated version of comics in my native language which is not available through amazon. tried all of the steps above, finally succeed with the Homebrew installation. (macOS, btw)

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Glad to hear it!

[@spassspasov]

Can you please tell me how to do the Homebrew thing (im a macOS user and I already have KCC and HakuNeko)

[@GabrielVendries]

Finally the solution I've been waiting for. Thank you!!!

[@BusinessInsider101]

the website to download the installer for windows has been taken down, how can i solve the problem?

[@jordynfreya4395]

I'm having the same issue :/

I'm wondering the same

[@stoicheww]

need help no clue how to install kcc

[@chaoshead666]

I dont understand how to install KCC at all im afraid.

Same :x

dude if i were a girl, i would literally ask you out to marry rn so neat and organized video i have seen in a while lots of love bro for being so humble

[@htkh]

When I drop the .cbz file to KCC, I get "Unsupported file type" error message 😭 KCC only seems to support pdf on my laptop? Why and how do I fix it? 😥 Thank you!

[@GimCar1]

The github page looks different from your video now and I can't seem to get the program to run and show. Could you make another updated video on how to download the converter on linux?

[@dweller8712]

Same issue

[@regularguy2424]

Thank you so much! It worked perfectly! I have a kindle basic 3 and I had to choose pw 5/6 instead(has the same screen size), because mine wasn't on the list (in case anybody need the information)

[@regularguy2424]

Now can read berserk on my kindle too :D

[@eink-reviews]

The Kindle Basic 3 is the Kindle Keyboard isn't it?

[@De4dPoo1]

I wish you showed the final product.

[@Nippernator]

You've got to tell me where you sourced those Berserk volumes!

[@TheTreeHugger1]

You're a life saver, much appreciated

[@dragonquater4029]

is kindle comic converter safe ?

[@Why_is_gamora]

i have linux mint. after installing kcc through terminal. it's neither showing in app menu nor in terminal. please help

[@Why_is_gamora]

me cries with linux, thank you for the indirect methods. i hope KCC might get released to Linux soon, before windows 10 gets discontinued.

[@EricMurphyxyz]

But KCC works fine on Linux? Just install it using the python package manager

[@sincereee___]

You sir are the GOAT! Thank you

[@NicJ27]

Hi Eric. I wish you actually showed the installation process. I found the files for both things but have no idea what or how to add Kindlegen to the KCC programme

[@chandler8434]

I downloaded Kindlegen and ran the application but when I still try to convert to MOBI KCC tells me I still have to download it

[@yukko3266]

I tried to download the kindle converter on my laptop but it runs only on 64 bit pcs while mine is only 32.. what can I do?

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

How does installing from a command terminal work? Does it mean my systems internal command window or a github feature? Pasting the code into my systems command window didn't do anything/wasn't recognized. And is there a fixed link for the kindle convertor website? the one in the description just links to the github repository.

[@Thatfanatic]

how do i fix this problem: everytime i put in a file it tells i need kindlegen. i download and drop into directory and it doesnt work

[@instamtgi112]

Thanks for the guide! Silly question but…Kindle now supports EPUB. Does this change anything?

[@wilsoncapucci]

I have the same doubt

[@DavidPerez-oq2dq]

how do you install it, i do not understand :(

[@ignacioflorescenoz9457]

Im having trouble when converting pngs to manga, I want the mobi to be displayed as a single full screen page in my kindle but im only getting it to look double page, any recommendations?

[@ILLRICARDO]

i still have no idea on how to install the kcc app, i downloaded the zip folder from git hub, and there is no install package

[@cabaoofc]

how many mangas a 16gb kindle can handle?

[@uiebwuiowebuiopwebfoipbewfoip]

is there any way to reduce file sizes? I downloaded the first volume of jojo part 8 and after the the kcc conversion its 450mb per volume

[@rajatrangari]

PDF not supported by KCC

[@DowbDowb]

I love how you said "if your a smuck"

[@serenitatiss]

I've been using this method and it works really well. The only thing that annoys me is that it change the author metadata as KCC, I know it doesn't affect anything but it's just so annoying to me lol. I wonder if you know how to fix it

[@EricMurphyxyz]

I don't think there's an easy way to do it unfortunately. There's some documentation here about adding metadata via a tool like ComicTagger, I haven't used it personally, but you could give it a try: github.com/ciromattia/kcc/wiki/ComicRack-metadata

[@Absoluto777]

Hi!, I have some cbr files that when I convert them to mobi with caliber there are white margins that cover the images, I have the paperwhite 11, which is larger than the previous ones, but it seems that I was taking it for the smallest screen size of the kindle, since the image remains in the middle and the white cutouts around it, with some sleeves that I have directly in mobi this does not happen, they are like expanded to fill the space, does this solve that?

[@demetter7936]

KCC never works properly for me. It crops the images and zooms them in to fit the kindle display regardless of which setting I choose which causes the image to stretch horribly on certain pages.

[@llukas58]

that's the problem i'm having with it. how'd you solve it? if you did.

[@SebHighDef]

what device do you have? if you have a paperwhite 2021 for example you need to pick "other" as the device and enter the custom resolution of 1236x1648

[@llukas58]

@@SebHighDef thanks, i'll test that out

[@Stephyyyy04]

Hi! I am not able to open KCC on my Mac. It says that it cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. IS there any way to fix this?

[@EricMurphyxyz]

I'm not sure, you would probably have to change some security settings to allow running apps from unknown developers

[@jennie_9848]

I had the same issue. You have to go to Finder, click Applications, and find KCC. Right click the application and select "open" in the pop up menu. That will allow you to open the KCC app. Hope this helps!

[@robertog.5861]

How can i download KCC?

[@KRug47]

Does anyone know how to do this if your device isn't there? For example, Kobo Libra 2?

[@EricMurphyxyz]

I would assume you find the device with the most similar screen resolution and use that.

[@hayraza5894]

Well I’ve figured out how to download KCC now, it’s moreso trying to download kindlegen and connecting it to KCC so that I’m able to successfully download manga🥹 do you know what that problem maybe?

[@Opinionatedbutterfly]

@@EricMurphyxyzyou said we are able to download the zip, extract it and put the executable file in where the KCC file is, but I’m not even seeing a file labeled executable in the kindlegen download nor do I know how to find the KCC file to put the kindlegen executable in. I hope that makes sense and I appreciate you responding and trying to help me!

@@Opinionatedbutterfly Did you install KCC first? They changed it a bit from how it looks in the video, but you can scroll down in the link in the description to Downloads. Are you on Windows?

[@Opinionatedbutterfly]

@@EricMurphyxyz yes I downloaded KCC first, and yes I’m on windows, I have an HP laptop. What I’ve done so far is downloaded the kindlegen, and extracted the files. What I do see is there is a “kindlegen” application in the files, but I don’t know where to go from there, I’m not sure how to add the kindlegen application to the KCC application

Why don't do this directly from Calibre? What's the advantage?

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Calibre always gives me some weird error when I try to do anything with manga, just converting a EPUB manga file to MOBI made every other page blank, that's why it's better to use KCC for everything

i'm still stumped cause i want to use this for comics and normally i use Calibre for my books i never did find anything else other than that to use online until recently i only learned of this and kindlegen does not open on my PC at all the app doesn't open i download it and it just closes on me

You're not supposed to open kindlegen, you're supposed to either drag it into the Kindle comic creator folder in program files (Windows) or add it to your PATH variable. KCC should then work properly

By all means support the mangaka if you can, but many out of print comics/manga are simply not on amazon. It can be used for piracy but it's not the only use
