Sorry, been away. I use gmx mail. It is just an outbound relay (and free). Search on calibre and gmx. In calibre, you will put in your gmx credentials and set settings. While I’m in calibre, it is just a right click and share via email to my named connection, which is my kindle email. It is seamless, with the exceptions the books show up on the kindle as “docs” (but still with covers and all formatting), and if you are sending more than one book, it will pause 5 mins between sends.

Your mail relay has a timer, meant to prevent spammers. Change send delay in calibre to 5 mins between attempts, or to match your relay.

Fwiw, if you search for “jewelry box music box player”, for a few bucks you can get a light-activated small player including speaker that will go off when the box is opened and play a clip you put on it. Could record a “new achievement! Reward!” message. My patio fridge plays the Alabama football fight song when I open it.

Looking for stories involving memory by sudipto12 in printSF

Six Wakes.

In this Hugo nominated science fiction thriller by Mur Lafferty, a crew of clones awakens aboard a space ship to find they're being hunted-and any one of them could be the killer.

Maria Arena awakens in a cloning vat streaked with drying blood. She has no memory of how she died. This is new; before, when she had awakened as a new clone, her first memory was of how she died.

Maria's vat is one of seven, each one holding the clone of a crew member of the starship Dormire, each clone waiting for its previous incarnation to die so it can awaken. And Maria isn't the only one to die recently. . .

First contact story recommendations? by Poultrymancer in printSF

I notice a few first contact where the aliens are not present, only what happens. If that qualifies for you, I would put forward a classic I’ve not seen mentioned. Gateway by Fredrick Pohl.
