Kindle: send books to your Kindle

You can't install Kevra on a Kindle: Amazon doesn't allow apps. But Amazon does let you email books to your Kindle, and Kevra does it for you: one tap on the book and a couple of minutes later it's on your Kindle (and in the Kindle app).

Setting it up (just once)

Go to Settings → Send to Kindle and follow the steps:

1. Your Kindle address. Enter your Kindle's email address, the one ending in @kindle.com. You'll find it on the Kindle itself (Settings → Your Account → Send-to-Kindle Email) or on Amazon, under Manage Your Content and Devices → Devices.
2. Approve our sender on Amazon. Amazon only accepts books from addresses you approve, and silently discards anything from other addresses. On Amazon → Manage Your Content and Devices → Preferences → Personal Document Settings, add the address the app shows you as an approved address. The Open Amazon button takes you there.

Sending a book

• From the library: long-press the book → Save a copy → Send to Kindle.
• Or from the book's page in Ex libris: Send to Kindle. If the book isn't on the device, a copy from your clouds is used.

It arrives within a few minutes. If something goes wrong, we let you know by email.

What you can send

• EPUB, PDF or text (TXT), up to 28 MB.
• Not MOBI: Amazon no longer accepts it by email.
• Not DRM-protected books either: Kevra can't open or send them (see Formats Kevra reads).

Common questions

It doesn't arrive on my Kindle. It's almost always step 2: check that Kevra's address is approved on Amazon, and that the @kindle.com address is your Kindle's. Also check the Kindle has Wi-Fi.

Does my progress sync with the Kindle? No. What you read on a stock Kindle doesn't come back to Kevra. If your Kindle has KOReader (jailbroken), you can sync: see KOReader.

Does the book stay on your server? No. The book goes through our server only to send the email and is then deleted.

Note: sending to Kindle needs a Kevra account.
