Kindle

There are currently five methods to upload ready file to Kindle. The book will work regardless of the chosen method.

Manual USB upload

Just drop MOBI to Documents folder on your Kindle. On newer Kindle models covers will not be displayed in library view.

Normal upload through Calibre work correctly. Don't convert KCC output - Calibre will corrupt the file! On newer Kindle models covers will be displayed only if they are added to Calibre book record before upload.

Both USB and SSH upload is working correctly. In both cases covers will be displayed in library view on newer Kindle models.

KCC content server

After successful conversion don't close KCC and use Kindle web browser to access content server. It is working on port 4242. Kindle browser don't show any download progress so be patient. On newer Kindle models covers will not be displayed in library view.

Send to Kindle

As long MOBI is smaller than 50MB this method should work correctly. Book will be marked as Personal and covers will be missing in library view.

Non-Kindle

Just use normal methods available for your device.
