Why does some content not extract cleanly?

SaveBook uses Mozilla Readability to detect the main article. Some pages (login walls, JavaScript-heavy apps, PDF-only sources) don't have extractable text. Try opening the page in a normal browser first and copy the link from the address bar.

Common errors

HTTP 403 / 401

The source page is paywalled or behind a login.

Conversion timeout

The page is very large. Try toggling off Keep images in Advanced options.

Unsupported content type

The URL points to a binary file — there's nothing to convert.

Kindle send fails

Check that you used your Kindle email (not your Amazon login email).
