Kindle Scribe png/gif blank pages

[axu2]

Scribe is glitchy with png. Use jpg instead.

In fact mobi conversion is slow with png. Gif support is better as future feature.

5.6.5 is out too, with apple silicon support if gui ran from terminal.

It works much better without --forcepng, I flipped 200 pages quickly and only got one blank now. I was thinking jpeg will lose some quality so chose png. I will try GIF as well.

Thanks for your help and work!

Gif support requires you to modify the code.

Jpg definitely loses a little quality. Mozjpg is better than jpg @knowncold

I tried GIF by the code in #533 , but the mobi seems simliar to PNG on Scribe, with many blank pages. 😄

@knowncold did you try mozjpg?

[knowncold]

@axu2 Mozjpg and default PIL jpg are both good, almost don't have blank pages anymore. And it's hard for my eyse to tell the quality difference between them.

@knowncold Maybe in a future Kindle firmware update this bug will be resolved. Until then I exclusively use mozJPG.
