Hi folks.

I have quickly hacked a tool to stop drag-and-dropping files into Kindle manually and instead let The Almighty Computer figure out where the heck the Kindle "documents" folder is and why the heck it is not mounted.

https://github.com/dottedmag/copy2kindle

Currently OS X only. Other OSes are support to add if anyone would like to.

See my plans for this utility here: https://github.com/dottedmag/copy2ki...ob/master/TODO

Why not Calibre? I can't stand neither UI nor CLI interface of it, nor the size of the software.
