I follow the steps as written in the README

  1. I use the Windows exe to generate the kll and the new mobi files from this sample
  2. Rename the kll filename to WordWise.en.eedb7b5f-dfa1-4621-888c-1485e4bc78e4.db
  3. Copy the new mobi to Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files
  4. Copy db file to /data/user/0/com.amazon.kindle/databases
  5. I use Adb shell to cd to /data/user/0/com.amazon.kindle/databases
  6. Run command ls -Zto get the proper group & security context. it shows u:object_r:app_data_file:s0:c512,c768
  7. Run command chcon u:object_r:app_data_file:s0:c512,c768 WordWise.en.eedb7b5f-dfa1-4621-888c-1485e4bc78e4.db
  8. Rum command ls -Z again to ensure the db has updated the permission
  9. Run Kindle Android app, the newly added ebook appear in the library
  10. Word wise didn't show up at the bottom of the app

Not sure where went wrong.

My Kindle Android app version is 8.38.0.100

@chinseng85 Seems correct for me

  1. What's the original format of the book?
  2. Do you have Kindle Paperwhite, to check if word wise works on device? If you don't you can send me book to timcess@gmail.com, I will check this
