The Apprentice Alf stuff is a Calibre extension written in Python, thus cross-platform. So "all" you'd need would be Calibre on the Kindle. The latest Calibre is Qt5-based. Just the shared libraries for Qt 5.6.x weigh in at 1.5GiB on x86-64... so it's not going to happen unless someone writes a no-Calibre version, which would mean reimplemting all the ebook-understanding stuff that Calibre does so Alf doesn't have do. (Even the parts of Qt 5 that Calibre actually uses weigh in at hundreds of megabytes, and Calibre has other dependencies too.)
