You're right. Sending web articles & newsletter has been my primary use-case. I haven't updated my marketing pages yet.

> How does it work with SE Books?

To use KTool with SE Books, you need to install the browser extension[0]. Then you can browse standardebooks.org, find the ebook you love, click KTool > Send to Kindle and it will send the _epub_ version to your device. The quality of the epub ebook is pretty good, actually. Here is a screenshot[1]

Yes. It's less straight-forward though. First, you need to update your settings to "preferAZW3"[2]. Then, instead of sending the epub version, KTool sends a document with a download button (link to the AZW3 ebook file). Tapping that button to download the high-quality ebook to your device.

Happy to support if you running into any issues (my email in profile)
