Both features worked correctly with mobi, but that format is being phased out.

So sending books not bought from them is made intentionally inferior. # Usage Just run the script with Node.js. Intended usage is with a Task Scheduler on Windows. There shouldn't be anything OS specific. Cron on Linux should work after modifying `"converterPath"` to an appropriate command, but that's untested.
