Anchoring in Port Anna, are ye, or are there any other exciting harbours to set sails to, fellow adventurer?

The ePub comes from Port Anna, then a quick sanity check via EPUB FIX [1] then finally to the official amazon.com/sendtokindle
All of the above if you want a wireless experience, you can just use Calibre and plug in the reader via USB for a smoother experience.

Or better yet, jailbreak your kindle before the hole is closed, install koreader, and read epub natively. It's a much better reader compared to the built-in one anyway.

And you can send straight to the Kindle from Calibre via WiFi, no need for /sendtokindle.

Thanks for the useful link!
I guess I am being overly paranoid, but I always also add a virus total check on top of it to make sure the file is clean [1]

/sendtokindle seems a bit brave if you obtained your epub off the back of a lorry..

KOReader + Calibre is also fully wireless. Get a Kobo, not a Swindle.
