# X to Kindle
Convert X/Twitter posts into Kindle-readable documents via email.
## Requirements
- Gmail account with App Password (or other SMTP setup)
- Kindle email address (found in Amazon account settings)
## Workflow
When user shares an X link:
1. **Extract content** via fxtwitter API:
```
https://api.fxtwitter.com/status/<tweet_id>
```
Extract from URL: `twitter.com/*/status/<id>` or `x.com/*/status/<id>`
2. **Format as HTML file** (save to /tmp):
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><meta charset="UTF-8"><title>{title}</title></head>
<body style="font-family: Georgia, serif; max-width: 600px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px; line-height: 1.6;">
<h1>@{author_handle}</h1>
<p>{tweet_text}</p>
<p><em>{timestamp}</em></p>
<p><a href="{original_url}">View on X</a></p>
</body>
</html>
```
3. **Send via SMTP with HTML as ATTACHMENT** (Kindle requires attachment, not inline HTML):
```python
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['Subject'] = "Tweet from @handle"
msg['From'] = from_email
msg['To'] = kindle_email
# Plain text body (not the content)
msg.attach(MIMEText("Article attached.", 'plain'))
# HTML file as attachment - THIS IS REQUIRED
with open("/tmp/article.html", "rb") as f:
attachment = MIMEBase('text', 'html')
attachment.set_payload(f.read())
encoders.encode_base64(attachment)
attachment.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment', filename='article.html')
msg.attach(attachment)
```
