Send2Reader also offers a bookmarklet which works in most desktop web browsers.
#Send to kindle app is secure install
Install the related app and you should be able to select “send to Kindle” as a share option in the Android and Windows Phone web browsers. But I am listing it here because it offers both an Android and Windows Phone option. This one is new to me, and I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. I think this service may have been abandoned (the blog and Chrome plugin were last updated in 2013), so it might not have been updated to work with the latest web browsers. It offers a bookmarklet which can be installed in your web browser, as well as plugins for Safari and Chrome. This was one of the first services to offer to send web articles to your Kindle. I don’t think they have been updated recently, and I can’t guarantee they wlll work. The only real limitation is where you have the content, and whether IFTTT supports that service or location.īut if you can’t find a recipe in IFTTT that does what you want I know of three services which will help you send web pages to your Kindle. (I would have set up a similar recipe for Instapaper, but that would be redundant – I like to read in Instapaper on my Fire tablet.)Īnd that’s just the beginning. For example, I just set up a recipe to send articles I starred in Pocket to my Kindle account. One recipe I like is the one which sends only the longest articles in Pocket to your Kindle account, but if you can’t find one which suits your needs you can make your own. IFTTT supports so many sources that I know I can’t think of all of the ones which could prove useful, but I can point you to scripts that have been made by other users which will give you an idea of just what you can do to send content to your Kindle. It’s impossible to list all of the things you can do with IFTTT, but today we’re going to focus on just sending content to your Kindle. IFTTT will let you send content from any number of services, including Dropbox, Pocket, Feedly, and Instapaper to your Kindle. All you have to do is identify the trigger, set up the response, and then IFTTT will do the rest. The name stands for “IF This, Then That”, and it’s quite simple to use. That’s why I think your first stop should be IFTTT.įor those who haven’t heard of the service, IFTTT is an automation service which you can set up to perform specific actions. One is now dead, and I don’t know that the other three have been updated since 2015. When I wrote an earlier version of this post in 2015, I listed four services that worked very similar to Amazon’s official browser extensions. And that’s why I found a few alternatives. The official plugins are easy to use, but not everyone has Chrome or Firefox. Once you’ve configured the plugin, you can access it from an icon on your menu bar: You’ll need to choose which devices you wish to send the webpage to, whether you want to also save the page to the Amazon Cloud Drive, etc. Once the plugins are installed, you’ll be asked to log in to your Amazon account and configure the plugin.Īmazon will send you to a page like this: The official plugins can be found through Amazon, and installing them takes but a single click.
(There are no official plugins for Internet Explorer, Safari, or other web browsers, but you do have other options.) Official
Amazon has released a couple plugins for Chrome and Firefox. We all spend a lot of time reading in our web browsers, but sometimes you want to finish reading a particularly long article in Evernote, Kindle, or another platform where you can save a copy, add notes, and what not.Īmazon makes this easy to do with the Kindle, but you might also want to look at alternatives like IFTTT and the several third-party browser extensions and bookmarklets.įor the most part, you’ll need to install and configure a browser plugin or a bookmarklet.
