Send books to Kevra by email
Your own Kevra email address for sending yourself books as attachments from anywhere.
Like Amazon's "Send to Kindle", but for Kevra: you have your own email address, and any book you send to it as an attachment shows up under Receiving on all your devices.
Plus plan: emailing yourself books is a Plus feature, like sending them between your devices. See Plans.
Your address
It's in Settings → Send books by email, or in Add a book → By email. Tap Copy address to paste it wherever you need.
Sending a book
- Write an email to your Kevra address from an approved address (see below).
- Attach the book.
- Shortly after, it appears in the Library on your devices, under the Receiving (N) button. Tap it and press Receive.
You have a week to pick it up. More on receiving in Send a book to your devices.
Who can send you books
So nobody else can fill up your library, only emails from the addresses in Who can send you books are accepted: your account email and any you add with Add an address.
If you send a book from another address, it doesn't get in: it shows up in Latest emails with an Approve button. Tap it and that address is approved; then send the book again (the rejected email isn't recovered). You can approve up to 20 addresses.
What you can send
- EPUB, PDF, CBZ, FB2 and M4B audiobooks.
- MOBI, AZW3 and CBR can be converted when they arrive.
- Up to 50 MB per book and about 25 MB per email.
Not DRM-protected books: Kevra can't open them. See Formats Kevra reads.
If someone knows your address
Tap Change address: we give you a new one and the current one stops working.
Also from KOReader and Xteink
Books you email yourself, while they're waiting to be picked up, appear under "Sent to Kevra" in your other readers' catalogs. See KOReader and Xteink.
Want to send a book to a Kindle instead? That's something else: see Kindle.
