The file was indeed sent to my Kindle, and it didn't land as a PDF. I can read it in the Kindle reader. The table of contents is a mess. Tables are a mess. I downloaded everything with the same base name as I sent -- a file and a directory. LibreOffice can't read any of it. Calibre can't read any of it, either in the download or in the mounted Kindle. "file" has no idea what any of the files are.
