Send research papers from Claude to a Kindle or Kobo, with Zotero as the source of truth. Searches arXiv and OpenAlex, recommends related work via the Semantic Scholar citation graph, queues papers in a Zotero collection, and delivers the PDFs by email or Dropbox. Receipts report file sizes and name anything that could not be sent.
