Generated file isn't treated by Kindle as a periodical

[dgarrett]

I'm trying to generate a simple periodical. However, Kindle Previewer and my Kindle Oasis both show the resulting .mobi as a normal book rather than a periodical.

The simplest repro is: node cmd.js tests/book.json

But the same thing happens if I try to use kindle-periodical as a library in my own project.

Are there any known good examples I could use to validate my setup? Something that others have seen produce a periodical formatted file.

Hi, maybe this helps you?

https://github.com/moszeed/kindle-periodical/blob/master/tests/tests.js these are the tests that i use to verify

The same problem.

I searched the Internet for a long time. There are few results for this problem. Consult to https://bookfere.com/post/218.html, maybe the different version of kindlegen causes.
