I don't understand how those situations you mentioned should be given high priority given the number of people who are being paid poverty-level wages currently. I'll grant there is a high count of counter-examples, but the numbe

I created a (admittedly much worse) Chrome extension to do this, but I also added the ability to concatenate several articles together, and send them as a single file. The reason being, when I pick up my kindle, it's usually to read fo
