I tried it out and it works perfectly, I just have one question though:
I see that the output pdf weights much more than the original (3.31 mb to 441 kb for a 10 pages article). If I were to convert a whole book, wouldn't it slow down the reading experience as the device has to handle a huge pdf?
Thanks again :-)

You can choose native mode in k2pdfopt so that optimized pdf will have original layout i.e similar size.
If native mode is turned off optimized pdf will be saved as bitmap, meaning that it will be a lot bigger than original pdf if original pdf was also not bitmap(scanned image).
Bigger pdf doesn't mean that it will be slower on e-ink readers, on the contrary, I use bitmap mode to flip through pdfs a lot quicker on e-ink readers and iPad 1 when original pdf used more complex compression that asks for powerful processors e.g. pdfs from archive.org.
