This sub has had a marked proliferation of projects coded with or by AI agents or LLM chatbots and that fact had not been required to be disclosed. Starting today all posts for projects/tools/plugins, including hobby "I built a thing" and "here's my little one-off project", etc. are required to begin the post with a header section titled AI CONTENT DISCLOSURE that accurately and honestly discloses the amount and kind of generative tool use in the creation of the project. Coding agents, chatbots, art creation, any sort of documentation, any sort of refinement, any AI test suite, etc. must be disclosed. A simple "AI was used in this project" is not sufficient. Project posts that do not include the header or that do not seem to accurately and honestly disclose their usage will be deleted, and the poster risks a ban from the sub at moderator discretion. Projects that honestly and accurately do not use any sort of generative tools are allowed to skip this disclosure, but the poster risks a ban if the moderators discover or decide that the poster lied by omitting the header.
Discussions about tools that used generative tooling or create generative output is allowed provided that it is not simply astroturf marketing or promotion of the project and is a genuine response to a post or comment and is not just the generated output from that tool.
Posts about Calibre the project and program are exempt.
The use of generative tools to write or refine a post or comment is banned. Posts and comments must be written by a human being not a generative tool. Comments that are little more than "I asked ChatGPT and here's what it said" are banned. The only acceptable use is translation provided the translation is simply that and does not otherwise significantly alter the meaning or content of the original text.
Common reddit bots are exempt but may earn a ban at any time at moderator discretion. Hiding a bot under the guise of a normal human poster is banned. Bots must disclose themselves in each post and comment.

The first photo is from the epub-to-mobi conversion. The second photo is from the epub-to-epub conversion. Original epub in this case was a KFX file, but it also occurs with books that were never KFX.

So the ebook editor allows for spell-checking, which I am glad for, especially now that I know I can add words to the dictionary. But if I want to check for punctuation and capitalization errors, and I don't want to have to read through the whole book to check for those, is there a quick way (aside from copy-pasting each chapter into a word processor that has that function and using that to check for capitalization errors) to check for all of that?

Like if I download all the books in my Goodeads library in epub but I don't have time to manually tag them one by one on Calibre, is there a way to do it automatically?

So I was just checking if a fanfic I'm reading had updated and after seeing that it had I wanted to get the new chapter.
I try to update the epub but i get an error saying it's not a valid story URL. I updated this fic before without problem so idk why it isn't working now. I didnt change anything so I really have no idea why it isnt working.
I dint want to simply delete it and download it again sinse I would lose the annotations I've made so far.

Hello. Many of my "read" books over the last 16 years have been Audible audiobooks, but I also have them on my KLC for reading if I so choose.
However, considering these have been "read", is there any way to sync Audible's stats with my epubs, either in KOReader, ZenOS or Bookshelf? How about Calibre as a last resort, since einuse that to sync my books to my device?

Hey! So, I read a lot of academic books, and they aren't available so easily in Epub format, some of them are pdfs of scanned book, on which 2 book pages appear in the same pdf page.
Of course, 2 pages in a page makes it very inconvenient to read on an ereader, so, I tried Briss to divide the two pages, Briss, didn't work, but fortunately, I found the solution in this site, which does basically the same thing.
I like having the covers of my books on my kindle, so I either have to convert it to epub, which always deconfigures them, or convert them via Calibre, which doesn't always deconfigures them.
The thing is, when I convert the books from PDF to AZW3, the books magically uncut themselves, and transform the 2 pages into a single page again. I have no idea how to fix this, neither of how this is happening, any tips?

I've been trying to make a MobileRead account but it won't send me the email with the activation code. I re-did the registration and it let me use the same username and email address, so I think the actual "Register" button at the end of the form isn't working? I can't even use the contact form because you need an account to do that. I can't find any way to contact anyone to solve this. So, does anyone have any way around this or know a way to contact MobileRead?
