Does this work with the native Kindle macOS app?

Yes, it supports both the Kindle Web Reader via Playwright and the native macOS application through automated screen capture.

How does it handle duplicate pages at the end of a book?

It includes a dedicated deduplication script that analyzes trailing images to detect and remove identical captures often caused by Kindle navigation.

How does AI assist in the trimming process?

The AI analyzes sample pages to determine optimal crop coordinates and uses a marking script to provide visual confirmation of margins before final PDF generation.

What happens if the book title cannot be identified automatically?

The skill triggers a cover-capture flow where AI vision reads the title from the book's cover to ensure accurate naming and metadata.

Is the PDF generation process optimized for file size?
