KTool founder here. Thanks for the mention.

While KTool is still in active development, feel free to give it a try (no account needed). Much appreciated

It would be great if I could email it to myself for transferring to the Kindle via USB as I don't trust Amazon enough to allow their device to connect to the internet.

Interesting. So something like "download .mobi or .azw3 files" would fit your requirement?

Looks interesting but it's only showing me a Twitter sign in option. Is that the only one?

It is, at the moment as my entire audience are on Twitter. I'm working on other login method right now. Is there any way I can reach you when it's ready? Also I assume you would like a email/password login option? Thanks

Yeah, it's so common to hear of auth providers like Google, Twitter, FB randomly banning people because some automated system said so and then poof, all your logins are gone and 20 other apps stop working. So I decided a while ago it's email + password manager only for me.

I do have some sympathy though because I've implemented email auth before and it's not simple!

I'd rather not give out details here. You could add a mailing list maybe?
