Earlier, I thought using some iOS or Android APP like Read It Later, now called Pocket, or Evernote will be a good idea to save and read later. However, it seemed that collection progresses well, but reading progress was slow. The main reasons are:
- Reading on an iOS or Android device hurts eyesight, and it is difficult to read for a long time on them.
- There are too much seduction on an iOS or Android device , like Facebook, Twitter, Line....so, you know...
I find Kindle eBook, not Kindle Fire which is a kind of Android device, will be better than the iOS/Android solution. Reading on Kindle eBook for eyes is like reading general paper books and I rarely surfing on line by Kindle. The time I turn on WIFI is only for sync my Kindle from Amazon Cloud. Therefore, it is easy to concentrate on reading and not seduced by social medias.
How? Just download Chrome Send to Kindle , and install it on your Chrome. (Why only say Chrome, because Chrome performance is the best and I found the plugin for Firefox and Safari could not work correctly many times.) After doing "Settings" to let the plugin remember your account and password, we can start material gathering. When you find a web page valuable, just click on the "K" icon on the top. Either select "Send to Kindle" or "Preview & Send" , the web page will be successfully sent to Your Kindle Library on Amazon cloud. When you turn on Kindle's WIFI connection, Kindle will automatically catches those new contents from the cloud library. Amazon offers each account up to 5GB, very generous.
Then you may ask, this is just for HTML, what others?
Amazon offers every account an email that you can send files into your Kindle library and they will be sent to your Kindle when WIFI is on.
The email can be set under Your Account
After saving your email setting, just attached the document you would like to send to Kindle and mail to your set Kindle E-mail address, then the attached file is delivered to your Kindle.
Advanced delivery tool for Kindle:
1. Send to Kindle on Desktop : Convert PDF to Kindle format and send to Kindle
Download: Mac Version Windows Version
You need to do settings in "Options" first, than latter just drag and drop files to the middle area and
click "Send", then PDF files are stayed well in your Kindle in Kindle format in your Kindle library.
The most important setting in "Options" is
Then you will feel PDF is much easier to read on eBook. Please notice, if your PDF includes many
pictures, the MOBI format may let you feel a little disappointed due to picture lost or not well
converted issue.
2. Kindle Previewer : Covert EPUB, HTML, OPF in MOBI format
In fact, Kindle Previewer is majorly for people who would like to publish works on Kindle. However, here we just use it simplely for converting documents in EPUB, HTML, OPF format to MOBI. The converted files will be saved in the assigned directory for general download. Find them there and send them via the above Send to Kindle Desktop APP.
So now you can send documents to Kindle, and enjoy reading. I found I have finished many books and blogs by Sending to Kindle that I would not have done by other ways. I wish you enjoy the same.
