Hi Larry. Since I have never done this, I really don't know either. I
have not installed two kindle for pc installs on one computer.
However, if they are in different folders or named differently I see
no reason why it cannot be done. When installed, both will download
the book to "my kindle content" and when codex is opened and a
conversion is done the conversion will end up in "ebooks".
I believe that the one thing that will be different is that amazon
will note that the installs are given a different name such as the
original and kindle for pc2. This happened when I had installs on 3
different computers, as the only one I use now is kindle for pc3.
I did notice that on my laptop, the install is within program files
and in amazon/kindle/. Which says to me that I would drop the new
install into a new folder named kindle2. Then again I am running xp
and everything is kinda easier to rummage through.
I may be all wet, But, I really can't see why this won't work.
If you get it to do the trick, you're the pro!
Stay well ... William

your machine. Amazon will let you register both? Thanks.

Subject: [vi-kindle] Re: converting books with new kindle for pc
Hi Larry. Here are my results.
1. I downloaded a sample of the book.
2. I fired up both my kindle for pc and codex.
3. I did a conversion to text .mobie and unprotected kindle.
4. All book conversions converted fine.
5. I then loaded into my kindle keyboard and tapped on all of the files and
they spoke back in tts with no problem.
6. So, the book converts fine and tts works as advertised. I've have
converted books much larger than this with no problem. So, I don't think
size is the problem. It might very well be that you have the newer version
of kindle for pc which is problematic in converting books because Amazon has
started using a new security for Kindle books. But, the older version (which
I have installed) works fine.
So, I would simply go back to the codex site and download the older version
which is linked on his site and install. If you find the newer install
easier to read with and navigate using your pc to read, just rename the new
install for conversion purposes. or, install in a different folder on your
computer. Just use the newer install of the older version when doing a
conversion.
Also, when opening the new install don't forget to uncheck "automatic
updates to new kindle for pc versions" because if you don't you will be
updated to the new version which would not be what you want!
I am also using codex on a laptop running Windows XP with 512 mb of ram. So,
I'm not using some type of super machine, but, my conversions have always
worked well.
That is the skinny from this side of the fence.
Stay well ... William
