# 🔥 Ignite
Ignite is an in-development e-book convertor for Kindle books (KF8).
To my knowledge, Calibre is the only open-source KF8 convertor. Ignite is the second and aims to be:
- correct
- easily embeddable
- performant
Currently, this repo is mainly a placeholder. Check out https://github.com/codetheweb/kf8-rs to see active development.
## FAQ
### but Kindles supports .epub
No, they don't, and it's quite misleading marketing from Amazon to say that they do. **Kindles only support proprietary Amazon formats**.
When you send an .epub to your device using Amazon's app, your book is uploaded to their servers and converted to a format your Kindle can read before it's delivered to your device.
It is impossible to sideload .epubs offline by connecting to your Kindle over USB and copying the file over.
### your code is a mess
thank you
### it's missing the ___ feature that Calibre has
Ignite does not aim to be feature complete with Calibre, but I'm very open to PRs that further expand Ignite's capabilities.
