KindleGen failed to generate a .mobi file at the expected location.
I have Scrivener version 3.0.1 (966) on a MacBook Pro (2016), and version 3.0 (75) on my iMac (Mid 2011).
Both are running High Sierra 10.13.2.
I also use it on iOS. I store my documents in dropbox. All my devices access from the same location.
I have been editing and revising four novels. I have been compiling for Kindle KF8/Mobi for a few months.
Everything has been fine. I haven’t changed anything other than to format some of my chapters with a style (and then went back to ‘no style’). This was a while ago and I have successfully compiled since doing this.
Today, when I tried to format my books on my MacBook Pro, the compile failed and I got the above error messages.
If I try and save it as a Kindle/mobi (not KF8) it works.
If I do the compile on my old iMac, it works (including KF8)
I have uninstalled and redownloaded Scrivener and KindleGen 3.0 and reinstalled both on my MacBook Pro… I still have the same problem.
I think I had Scrivener version 3.0 (75) on both Macs until this evening when I re-downloaded and went to the latest version, but I’m not sure.
Below is the error report.
Can anyone see what is happening and how I can get back to working on my MacBook Pro?
