- The page distinguishes tested Kindle transfer paths from its beta self-generated AZW3 option, which it says has not yet been tried on a Kindle.
Field notes
The app exposes reading controls in a live preview, including Courier Prime, page numbers, margins, and line spacing, so readers can inspect the layout before sending a file to a device. The page separates Kindle transfer options: email is described as tool-free, while optional KFX output requires Calibre and two other free tools; it also asks users to report how less-tested devices behave.
