This tutorial was amazing thank you so much!

10/10 tutorial thanks for this

[@elloisebrielle2829]

thank you so much!! This video is very helpful, straight forward and concise!

[@elloisebrielle2829]

Is there a way to send large manga files to kindle email? My kindle doesn't seem to connect to my computer no matter what cord I use. Help please 🥺

[@eink-reviews]

@@elloisebrielle2829 What kindle and os do you have? If you have kindle scribe and macos you need android file transfer to usb load. You can use Send to Kindle website which has 200 mb limit. Use epub 200 output format instead of mobi.

[@patn821]

Hi, I have a kobo clara and was wondering if I would still need to download kindle previewer to be able to use KCC or would KCC run fine without it ?

[@eink-reviews]

No, kobos don’t need it. In fact, another comment has a kcc version that doesn’t need 7z either.

[@hamisesmelo]

How do I rename it? Mine keeps showing the name KCC instead of the name of the manga.

[@eink-reviews]

Shift click the convert button to change the filename. To change the author name, you have to use the metadata editor in the top left or use the command line version.

[@Ceza117]

Unfortunately i don't see the kobo libra colour is there any way to add that?

[@eink-reviews]

Just use the Kobo Libra 2 profile with the color mode option checked.

[@eink-reviews]

Added in KCC 6.1

[@Ceza117]

Cool! Thank you.

[@nygiantsgaming]

I tested the Panel View option which zooms into each corner of the page (when left unchecked/checked), but I would like the option for Guided View (zoom into each panel). Is this option available? If not, are you familiar with any tools that provide this capability? Thank you for the helpful tutorial! :)

[@eink-reviews]

Kcc doesn’t support it. I use a kindle scribe so zooming isn’t necessary. I don’t know any tools for panel by panel, maybe kindle comic creator or kindle create. Or buy from Amazon store.

[@nygiantsgaming]

@@eink-reviewsThanks for the reply. I found a tool that allows you to apply the guided view manually, but this would take ages. Here's the link if you're curious: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJOvpoSPjLx3m7Mfeature=shared

Where can I download the mangas? I want to download the entire one piece series on my kindle but I dont know where to get started :(

[@eink-reviews]

My favorite source is Humble Bundle. They have super high quality pdf sources. I use mutool to convert pdf to CBZ and use that in KCC.

[@MarkAndrewBautista]

hello I would like to manage my files in a separate external storage but I don't know how to change the final mobi file directory. it pop up an error everytime I put the file not from external storage the only way it convert is when the og file come from my internal storage. please helpp

[@eink-reviews]

Shift+click the convert button to change output directory. Hover mouse over the convert button for details. I do not recommend converting directly onto your kindle, kcc is doing a lot of processing until the final mobi is made. What OS are you using? Sounds like a permission problem. Maybe try running it from source if you have the technical skills.

[@MarkAndrewBautista]

@@eink-reviews I'm using macOS

[@MarkAndrewBautista]

its saying that the file is corrupted but when I transfer it to internal storage and put it in kcc it magically work (the thing is I don't want to "stress" my laptop storage cuz its a continuous install and delete of GB so I wanted to do the "dirty work" on my external storage)

Hi, I'm getting this error "Failed to extract archive. Try extracting outside of KCC". I don't know the reason. It's a cbr manga

[@eink-reviews]

On Windows, right click the cbr and use 7zip to extract to /. On macOS, right click the cbr and use The Unarchiver to extract. Should give a more detailed error. Otherwise try restarting pc. Or use the extracted folder directly in kcc

Not sure what you mean by "fits on the margin." Maybe click the upscale box? Or play with the cropping mode feature? Remember that PW5 was renamed to PW 11 in KCC v6.

[@RobbieAtkinson_raytc]

I'm trying to download the 7zipunar through mac and I'm unfamiliar with home brew all together. I tried to copy and past the "brew install p7zip brew install unar" code into Terminal's Homebrew Window and have gotten a "zsh: command not found: brew" response. Can you please provide more insight? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@RobbieAtkinson_raytc]

Update: With a bit of troubleshooting, I found that I have to first have Xcode Command Line Tools installed to my mac through Terminal before I can even install Homebrew and the consequential 7zip or unar. Is there any other way to access 7Zip and thus, KCC, without having to go through Terminal for mac?

[@RobbieAtkinson_raytc]

​@@eink-reviews My laptop didn't have enough space to download Xcode and that has to be manually installed to my laptop in order for any other Homebrew commands to work in Terminal. I got a notification saying that I needed 15 MB to install it and only had 2--not willing to erase everything on my laptop for this one app. Not even erasing previously downloaded PDFs/files would free up that kind of space.
