For some reason Amazon just forgets the cover and TOS on conversion from epuub. Both features worked correctly with mobi, but that format is being phased out. From what I found, Amazon is being an ass about it and is ignoring built in metadata in favor of getting them from their book database. 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.
