How to send web articles to Kindle from Android phones

Reading long articles on a computer screen can be difficult, especially if the site has a small printout and very little space. Reading on Kindle is much easier because you have control over the size and font you use.

There is no default method to send web articles to Kindle from Android. You will need different applications to do this.

Find your Kindle address

Before trying to use any of the applications mentioned in this article, you need to find and change your Kindle email address. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Amazon Shopping app , not Kindle and click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines in the top left corner).

2. From the menu that appears, select 'Your Account'.

3. Scroll to Kindle content.

4. Click the Devices tab at the top of the screen.

5. Click the drop-down menu at the top and scroll down until you find the Kindle device you want to use.

6. Find the email address and click the 'Edit' word next to it. Please note the address because you will need it later.

7. Change the address to something a little easier to remember and click Save.

Once you know your email address, there are a number of applications available to post web articles to your Kindle.

Send to Kindle

The first application is Send to Kindle. This app is not the same as Send to Kindle for Android available from Amazon. The Send to Kindle for Android application can only send documents to your Kindle, and the articles on the web are not.

Send to Kindle allows you to send web articles to Kindle using the Share feature on your mobile device's web browser.

1. Download the Send to Kindle app from Play Store.

2. Locate the article you want to send to Kindle on any browser.

3. Open the browser settings and search for three dots in the upper right corner.

4. Click Share.

5. Select Send to Kindle as your sharing application.

6. Wait for the application to convert your article to the correct format.

7. Click the Send arrow button of the yellow arrow.

8. If this is your first time using the application, you will need to set up your Kindle email address.

9. Enter your Kindle email and click Save.

10. Select your email application.

11. Send email.

12. Check your Kindle for an article.

The problem with this application is that you can only send 3 posts per day. After that, you must watch the video to continue sending 3 more files. If you use the application regularly, you can upgrade your account for less than $ 2 (VND 46,000).

Push to Kindle

Push to Kindle works in a way very similar to the Send to Kindle application discussed above. The main difference is that there is no need to open your email application to send articles to Kindle.

Push to Kindle is not a free application. You will lose $ 3.99 (96,000VND) to use it. However, if you don't like it, you can request a refund.

The sender is approved

To ensure that both applications will work correctly, you need to add an email address to your approved sender list. For the Send to Kindle, in addition to adding Kindle addresses, if the email address registered with Amazon is different from the sending address, add that address as well.

For Push to Kindle, add the email address 'kindle@fivefilters.org' to your approved senders list in Amazon before using the app. Otherwise, the file will not be sent.

To add these addresses to the approved senders list:

1. Access the website on the desktop and click on 'Your account' in the Accounts and Lists menu. (You can also access these settings by clicking on the link:

 https://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle 

Click Preferences and continue from there.)

2. Click on 'Change your digital and device settings' .

3. Scroll down to find the 'Personal document' setting and click on the title.

4. Scroll down to view Approved Personal Document E-mail List .

5. Click on 'Add a new approved email address' .

6. Enter the address you need to allow sharing from Android to Kindle.

7. Save the list.

Both applications work equally well in sending your articles to your Kindle device. The Push to Kindle application works faster because it does not require additional steps to open an email application to send files. It automatically does that in the background.

Hope you are succesful.
