Hi Federiko,

Any specific reason why not to use the Kindle edition?  
Also: Korm [referred](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/move-method-removes-replicants-of-target-item/20251/15) to some list of resources for learning Apple Script, however I searched but did not find it. Could you point me to it please?

Thanks a lot!  
Erwin
