Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: This workflow attaches the current file to an email and sends it directly to your Kindle.

Before using you must set the following variables in the workflow:

* Your FROM email address
* Your KINDLE email address (such as <somename>@kindle.com)
* Your SMTP Server (such as smtp.gmail.com)
* Your SMTP secure Server Port (465)

The workflow prompts for your password as it it not stored in the workflow.

Note: Any files sent to the Kindle must have a suffix of: txt or html (Not md)

The attachment supports UTF8.
