KB0089: Why are the Sync and Share buttons on a Kindle disabled?

For a Kindle book that Jutoh generates that hasn't been downloaded from the Amazon Kindle store, the Sync and Share buttons may be disabled.

This is because Amazon only enables these buttons for books that contain information indicating that they were downloaded from the Kindle store. Calibre seems to be able to fake one or the other, but possibly only because it does the conversion to .mobi instead of Kindlegen. Amazon frowns upon non-Kindlegen use, so using Calibre to generate a book for upload to Amazon is not recommended.

Since the buttons will be enabled for your customers when going through the Kindle store, this issue is not normally a matter for concern.
