It works like a charm! The docs are well converted.

IT just works, at least for arXiv papers, reflowing it, along with formulae and figures. Sure, sometimes have problems, but it's way better than anything I've seen.

I was in the process of looking for an API for zotero to let me do zotero -> spin up EC2 VM to run k2pdfopt -> email to kindle when I found this. It works great! Glad that I didn't reinvent the wheel.
