Hi, thanks for reporting this. This issue is not there in the latest pre-release 2.0.0-rc-1 version. Can you try that one out and confirm?

Commands are a bit different in that version. I tried kindle-send send https://matt.might.net/articles/hello-perceptron/ and was able to send the epub. Then I tried kindle-send download https://matt.might.net/articles/hello-perceptron/ and was able to download the correct epub.

Hi,

the new version of kindle-send still refuses to download, giving the "SKIPPING https://matt.might.net/articles/hello-perceptron/ : Error retrieving ..." message.

But I think I have an idea why. There is nothing special about this blog post. It just includes an ad and I have a DNS-based ad blocker in place (network-based). My computer is unable to resolve the DNS name for ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com.

I checked the blog post in a browser. Developer tools show that the browser simply skips over the unresolveable URLs and displays the blog without the missing image.

Looks like kindle-send actually requires all elements of a page to be available. Is this something to reconsider?

Got it, will debug this further and push the fix in few days.
