The site is build on AWS serverless tech (one of the reasons I started it was to play around with this a bit more). So, emails are sent via SES.

And if you are curious, the answers are below!

0. Emails come from [email protected]

1. Time zone is determined by the user's browser.

2. Chapter emails are in HTML.

3. Translations are what was available from https://www.gutenberg.org/

4. All from from https://www.gutenberg.org/

5. Hmm, had not really thought too much into this yet. Should be set up to run at a minimal cost, but might add a donation link or something like that if people are interested in making small donations.

Good timing!

For the "Send time", it probably doesn't matter too much since it is email (as you said). On the flip side, it always seems like these things tend to come through really early in the morning and then get buried under other emails that come in, so wanted to give some flexibility here!
