# Kindle (Scribe) Email Fetch Hack
This is a quick-and-dirty python script to log into an IMAP server,
monitor incoming messages for the ones that contain the links to the
PDFs that you sent from the Kindle scribe. Once such an email is found
the PDF linked therein is downloaded to a local directory
`OUTDIR/[name].pdf` (see below) and the email is deleted. The latest
downloaded file is also copied to a preset filename to make it easier
to find it. I'm always running `zathura OUTDIR/.latest.pdf` to
have the latest kindle PDF visible.
