Enter an article URL and click Preview. We'll try to extract the article's content and show you a preview of what we've got. If you're happy, you can go ahead and have it sent to your Kindle. To test, try one of the following:
Push to Kindle lets you send web articles (news stories, blog posts, Wikipedia entries) to your Kindle app or device for a better reading experience.
Extensions for desktop and laptop browsers:
Once installed you'll see a new toolbar button in your browser. Whenever you load a web article you'd like to read on your Kindle, simply click this button and you'll see the Push to Kindle preview screen. One more click and you've sent the article to your Kindle.
Apps for phones and tablets:
On mobile devices you can send articles to your Kindle using the share menu. On Android and Kindle Fire devices, Push to Kindle will appear as an entry in the share menu once installed. On other mobile devices, you can choose to share by e-mail and use our email service.
If you're not using one of the browsers above, you can use our bookmarklet. To quickly and easily send content you encounter online to your Kindle, drag the Push to Kindle button below to your browser's bookmarks toolbar. Then whenever you'd like to send the page you're reading to your Kindle, click the bookmarklet.
Push to KindlePush to Kindle can also be used by e-mail. This is particularly useful for iPad, iPhone and Windows Phone users who would like to send articles from their device to their Kindle account. To use the service, follow the steps below:
Changing the ending to @pushtokindle.com in step 4 ensures our service processes the article first and then sends it to your Kindle account.
The first time you do this, you'll receive an email from us asking you to confirm the address you're sending from. After confirming, you'll have the opportunity to save your Push to Kindle email address in your contacts list to make future sending faster. (Simply typing 'kin' in to the To: field should show your Push to Kindle address as an option.)
If you own a 3G Kindle device and you want to make sure you will not be charged by Amazon, please send to @free.pushtokindle.com. (For the time being we are only sending to @free.kindle.com, but this might change in future.)
* So if your Kindle email address is example@kindle.com, you can send web articles via our service by sending to example@pushtokindle.com.
It's free to get started!
The first 25 articles processed by our e-mail service are free, after that you'll be asked to purchase credits — this allows us to maintain the service.
100 credits cost 1.5€ (around £1.20 or $2)
Each article sent uses 1 credit. You will receive an email notice when your credits are low.
Note: credits are linked to the email address you send from, not your Kindle address.
Amazon's Send to Kindle service currently works by accepting documents as attachments to an email message.
Web articles you read online are usually not in a format that can be sent to your Kindle account directly. They need to be cleaned up and converted to a suitable format first.
That's what our service does. We take care of extracting the content and converting the article to a suitable format for your Kindle. We then send the result as an attachment to your Kindle account.
