   How would you know that they are who they claim to be? There is an urban legend in my city that a person claiming to be a parking attendant worked outside the zoo for 20 years, pretending to work for either the local government or the zoo,

   You might want to try running the EPUB through https://kindle-epub-fix.netlify.app/ This applies a few fixes for problems with EPUBs that the Send to Kindle service doesn't like.

    I've only been to Costco once here in the UK (as I'm not eligible for membership - the criteria are quite tight here), but they had a person and a scanner checking cards on the entrance. Maybe that's because of the stricter e
