How is this different than kindles own browser extension? Is it the conversion quality? What couldn’t the extension do that ktool does?


Yes to conversion quality. For example, the official extension has a huge problem with detecting the cover. I fixed it with KTool.

I also implemented custom parsers for many sites that use a “modern” frontend framework (read: SPA)

And here is the main difference: ability to send RSS feeds and newsletters to Kindle, combine them into only 1 ebook and read at a specific time you set.

I think it’s better to compare KTool to other alternatives like p2k or instapaper. The official extension did an OK job if you don’t need any features above.
