Hello,

I have had the new Kindle Colorsoft e-reader for 2 days. When I try to convert mangas with KCC using the CS12 profile, I get a white blank page every few pages. When I go back to the main menu and reopen the manga, the page then loads correctly instead of being blank.

However, this is very annoying as I have to repeat this every few pages. I didn't have this problem with my previous Kindle Paperwhite 7. Is there a workaround for this?

Thank you in advance for the response!

That's concerning. Maybe the colorsoft has a bug? Blank pages happen on scribe with PNG and turning pages too fast.

Try normal jpg.

Try no upscale.

Try PNG too, though this will convert slowly due to bug I can fix later.

I have tried JPG, no upscale and PNG. Unfortunately, this problem also occurs here.

However, if I turn the pages very slowly, it seems to occur only rarely.

Ideas: uncheck color mode

Or

Use scribe profile with color checked.

I am also having this issue I will try these suggestions.

@utopiafallen Do you have any insight into this issue?

This has been my experience as well. Other than that, sorry, I don't have much to add.

Jumping on here to say that I am also experiencing this issue. Normally, I turn the Kindle off and back on to be able to see the pages or I get out of the book and get back in. I’ve been using KCC for a long time now with my paper white and just recently got my color soft and started to experience this blank page issue

Can anyone test if issue happens with humble bundle epubs sent via Send to Kindle?

If it doesn't happen something is wrong with kcc epub formatting.

If it does then it's a colorsoft bug that amazon is unlikely to fix since kcc uses the old kf8 comic format.

I do not have a colorsoft so I cannot debug

Just tried it. My settings for KCC were:

  • Manga Mode
  • Spread Splitter
  • Stretch/Upscale
  • Color Mode
  • Cropping Mode

I used the Colorsoft 12 option and EPUB format. Once it converted the .cbz, I used the Send to Kindle option in the browser. I had to scroll through 40 pages quickly, but it did eventually show a blank page that would not display the correct images until I left the book and went back in. Interestingly enough, I did briefly have a blank page earlier, but it loaded up after going back and forth a page.

I meant sending an EPUB from humble bundle directly via Send to Kindle, not using KCC at all.
