For the past several days this recipe downloads the same photos and subscription offers (2 or 3 pages worth...) at the beginning of each article. Is it possible to eliminate these? Or at least limit them to one location in the download?

Bookmarks - dual language book
I have a book in spanish and english (a dual translation). In the spanish book i have many bookmarks links to an index that the book has. But the english book doesn't has those bookmarks links.
The files structures:
cap1_es
cap1_en
cap2_es
cap2_en
and so on....
and the html code of the spanish bookmarks links are:
<a data-index="18es"><sup class="bkm">18</sup></a>
<a data-index="19es"><sup class="bkm">19</sup></a>
Is there a way to copy ALL the bookmarks from the spanish books to the english books? From the cap1_es copy the bookmark to cap1_en.
Thanks for your help!!!

Looking for tips on how to get proper covers for series
Alright so I find myself with several problems when it comes to updating metadata in books, and specifically covers.
If I want to choose between different covers (and see all of the available ones) I need to edit each book individually. Is that the case or am I missing something?
Can anyone give me any advice on how to go about getting a same-set of covers for a series of books? I'm trying to update covers for Terry Brooks' work and I keep finding covers of both differing styles and sizes so in the end I have a jumble of cover styles for a set of a few books. Is there any way I can go around that problem and maybe get my covers from a different place? The original covers of my sideloaded epubs are pretty spotty, low quality mostly of differing styles so the image comes out blurry on the lock screen.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Broken Image
I've done this a dozen times before but now it doesn't work. I add a new image and enter the file name, but the preview will not display it. In fact, I did the exact same thing 5 minutes earlier and it worked. Now it doesn't.
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 1000 1600" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet">

When I click on the image name (titlepage.png) under Images it displays fine.

Q: Editor shortcut keys question
In the S&R dialog there appears to be a duplication of the Alt- shortcuts, and some don't appear to work
F is used to the [Find:] ___________ and the [Find] action
R is used to the [Replace:] ___________ and the [Replace] action
The alt-a for [Replace all] doen't seem to work
I checked Preferences to see if there was a KB mapping that I needed to set but didn't see any
I'm used to using a KB for a lot of text-oriented actions as well as the Windows alt+somekey so I wonder if I'm missing something

Changing .original_epub back to .epub
I recently had an epub with some issues so I ran it through the Calibre converter into another epub and it kept both versions, giving the old one a .original_epub. It didn't fix the problem and I didn't need the re-converted copy so I deleted it (who knows if more stuff broke on the reconversion). Now I just have .original_epub and while it does open in Viewer how do I get it back to .epub so it works correctly with other applications/devices? I tried manually naming it back to .epub but then Calibre loses track of it because it's looking for .original_epub.
On a side note, I've read Calibre can't handle multiple versions of the same format, which is a feature I've wanted to have, but isn't that essentially what is happening here? It seems like I could reconvert an epub (or whatever format you have multiple versions of), then manually swap out the file with another version of the epub and Calibre would track both. Is this a valid workaround or am I missing something?

In my Calibre library I have 5 titles that are not in epub format. How do I find the 5 non-epub titles? What is the search expression?

Send all/multiple formats to device?
I sync a subset of my library to a folder in my Dropbox folder to access from any of my devices. I'd like to be able to send all the formats instead of the first match in the priority list since my "device" is a general purpose folder that is accessed by multiple devices. Is this possible to do without having to manually select each format for every book I want to sync?

2.41: Pictures are not shown right in preview
I've updated to 2.41.
Now the preview of the editor does not honour the style of pictures.
See the example: style is height:100% and max-width: 100%
But the preview just shows a tiny picture (witch has not many px); before 2.41 the preview took the css and not just the px

Need help with regular expressions
Hi folks,
I'm actually in trouble about some regex in order to import books properly.
Hopefully someone more experimented than me will have time to help me...
My book's names are in this general format :
(serie serieindex) author1, author2, author3,... -book title_ second part of title (serie serieindex)-editor (year of publication).epub
Here're some more details :
- Both fields or part of field (ie serieindex & second part of title) are optionals
- if no author name, book will be name "(serie serieindex) - title.epub"
- in title field, it would be nice if "_" could be replaced by ":"
-Last tricky part, serie+serieindex could be in two different places, sometime even both in the same time. If not possible to combine those two, just keep the one at the begining.
Thanks for your help, I'll keep strugling on this for a while ;)

Kindle Paperwhite (2015) Author sort order
Hi everyone.
Author sort is driving me mad and Id appreciate any simple advice.
I have a mix of books, some purchased from Amazon loaded directly to my Paperwhite (new 2015 version), and some loaded via Calibre. On my old kindle (standard) the Amazon books sorted correctly (last name, first name) but the books loaded from Calibre were in the reverse order (first name, last name).
I have resolved to try to sort this before I upload all of my books to the new Paperwhite!
So, I now have my Amazon books installed, in the correct order last name, first name. However books loaded from Calibre usually appear at the end of this list - it looks like they are in the order in which they were loaded.
Having said that the occasional book appears in first name, last name order! Its very frustrating!
By reading these forums, Ive learned about the `Use author sort for author` option in the conversion and have re-converted with this option checked. When I open the books using the viewer in Calibre and view the metadata the Author Sort field is correct (eg Smith, John) but this doesn't seem to have made any difference when viewing the list of books on the device.
Any ideas? Id even edit a metadata field manually if I knew where to look!
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Find and Replace from Lists
Hi Everyone
I am new to regex so don't know if what I am trying to do is possible and at the moment I have limited skills but I am learning.
I would like to convert US books to UK versions by searching and replacing US words and phrases to UK. e.g 'color' to 'colour' and 'cell phone' to' mobile phone'.
I would like to do this using two lists so I can add to the lists as I find new words or phrases to convert.
I think the function would be something like:
START
n=0
FETCH LIST#1/STRING#1(color)
FETCH LIST#2/STRING#1(colour)
FIND LIST#1/STRING#1 in the text
IF MATCH FOUND
REPLACE LIST#1/STRING#1 with LIST#2/STRING#1
n+1
GO TO SEARCHn
SEARCHn
FETCH LIST#1/STRING#2
FETCH LIST#2/STRING#2
FIND LIST#1/STRING#2 in the text
IF MATCH FOUND
REPLACE LIST#1/STRING#2 with LIST#2/STRING#2
n+1
GO TO SEARCHn
And so on until end of list.
Is this possible? Has this already been done in some way?
I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks - moldy

Metadata download shows only 1 source
Though I have several sources checked for metadata the window shows only one result. Is this intentional or can multiple sources be displayed so that I can choose the best? If so, how?
A book I have added has an incorrect synopsis on every source except one. Currently I can only access that synopsis by making fantasticfiction my only source...
TIA for any help or advice.

Undo in "Check Spelling" tool?
Is there a way to undo changes using the Check Spelling dialog? Sometimes I accidentally press "Change selected word to:" and it changes the currently-selected word to the first suggestion in the list. If I'm not paying enough attention and don't see what the first suggestion was (or if the suggestion was a common word that occurs many times anyway), the only way I know of to recover from this is to quit the editor without saving, thereby losing all my other unsaved changes together with the erroneous spelling correction.
Surely there must be a better way to recover when this happens? What am I missing this time?

How to remove fixed line-spacing?
I have some books that have a fixed value for line-spacing, e.g. line-height: 1.4em. Is there a way in Calibre to remove those values automatically?
I normally do EPUB to EPUB conversion to remove unwanted styles but fixed line-height remains in the stylesheet.

Scanned PDF + steps I've made so far. Need help.
So first of all, hello everyone and in advance I apologise for any mistake I make during this post, I'm from Poland and English is not my native language.
Secondly, I've got a problem hence the post :p
So I'm a newbie to ebook readers world and I decided to order a Kindle 5 All New Touch 7th Generation ebook reader. Decent prize and thought it was a good choice.
I've seen people having kind of the problems I met with my pdf's but, these were old posts and none of them actually solved my issue.
So I study at Technical University and most ebooks I've got on my PC are crappy scanned pages put in PDF. I've tried to work with it, downloaded billion programs like Calibre(ofc), Wondershare PDFelement, ABBYY PDF Transformer+ and tried to make a readable copy of one of the scanned Physics book for my Kindle. Steps I've made so far.
1. I did the OCR in Wondershare of my pdf and it looks like this(not bad I think even though I know it still contains images)
http://s1130.photobucket.com/user/ge...a/ex1.jpg.html
2. Then I read I should convert my OCR'd pdf to one of the format that Calibre will read and convert to AZW3/MOBI that my Kindle will read nicely so I did convert from Wondershare my OCR'd pdf first to EPUB then tried to DOCX, then to HTML and all the results were the same. So in Calibre it looked like this every single time, no matter what the format was:
http://s1130.photobucket.com/user/ge...a/ex2.jpg.html
3. I tried the same thing with ABBYY and result wasn't much better, all the letters in random places, huge blank spaces(sometimes even on page was whole white and on the next one there was 1 word....etc.)
So my question is:
Is there any way I can make my pdf customized for my Kindle 5 in azw3/mobi format in a way like all other 'normal' ebooks?
Thanks in advance!

Calibre not seeing new books
I have been having a number of issues with Calibre since moving from my old, now dead, Kindle keyboard to a Paperwhite. There are things I like a lot about the Paperwhite, but there have been a number of compatibility issues with software.
Today, I plugged in the PW and went to the Device and none of the 5 books downloaded since 21 September were visible. I could see them on the PW itself, but not in the device view from Calibre. I ended up downloading the books in Kindle for PC and adding them to Calibre that way, and then I went back to plug in the Kindle again and they were there, but with odd bits like only the author's first name. I was able to match them to the library and make them look reasonable.
Then, there was one book which seemed slightly older that was not in the library and tried to add it, but it told me it was KFX format or something and a virtual book which could not be loaded. I forced a new download from Amazon, getting a second copy, but still could not load it into the library. I downloaded it from Kindle for PC and added it to Calibre from there and then was able to match it to get it connected. I could read the book on the PW.
What is all of this?

Tooltip Hover time
Has there been a recent change that has reset the time before a tooltip is displayed - mine's gone from a second or three to practically instantaneous.
There's one particular situation where its driving me nuts -- where I have links to local images embedded in long text column, which has an icon with no text. If the mouse pointer gets close to the icon for a fraction of a second the images flash up, and if they're big they momentarily obliterate everything.
I know I can turn tooltips off in Preferences->Look and feel - but I like having them, and I don't mind waiting a second or three.
One could argue that cells that have an 'icon with no text' displayed, should not display the cell value in the tooltip. But I'd be happy if I could get back to a longer delay before cell tooltips are displayed.
