Log says DRM removal succeeded, but the resulting ebook has almost all the images replaced by black blocks #472

As I do not own a physical Kindle, I cannot try downloading for USB transfer AFAICT, and the logfile thinks the decryption succeeds, but the resulting book has all but a few pages of images replaced by solid black.

Reading said book in Kindle for PC 1.17, as you might expect, works fine.

Is it the calibre e-book viewer that shows black pages? How does the DRM-free version look in Kindle for PC? Have you tried converting it? Or redownloading?

Alternatively, I see it's a graphic novel that can be read on Comixology. If you sign in with your Amazon account, you could try using the Comic-Backup chrome extension available here:

It is the Calibre ebook reader. Saving the resulting AZW3 from Calibre and copying it into My Kindle Content then opening it results in the proper images being displayed, and I checked to confirm that the files are not identical.

If you're all set, you can close the issue.

...no? Are you trying to convey briefly that the issue is with Calibre's viewer and not the actual content?

ElleKayEm commented 6 years ago

Yes, since you said the DRM-free version opens and displays properly in Kindle for PC, then it doesn't seem like there's any issue with DeDRM.

Calibre's e-book viewer does not support Amazon fixed layout, as used in comics and children's books.
