Send a book to your devices

With Send to my devices you send a book you have downloaded on one device to the other devices on your account: from your phone to your e-reader, from your tablet to your phone… No cables or computer.

Plus plan: sending books between your devices is a Plus feature. See Plans.

Sending

1. In the Library or on Home, long-press the book.
2. Tap Save a copy → Send to my devices.
3. You'll see a message telling you to open Kevra on your other device to receive it.

The book has to be downloaded on the device you're sending it from.

Receiving

1. Open Kevra on the other device and go to the Library.
2. At the top there's a Receiving (N) button, with the number of books waiting.
3. Tap it and press Receive on each book.

Once you receive it, it's removed from the inbox; when there are none left, the button disappears.

Common questions

I don't see "Receiving". The list is checked when the app opens: there's no live notification. If the book arrived while Kevra was already open, close it and open it again.

How long do I have to pick it up? A transfer between devices is kept for about 48 hours. After that it's deleted and you'll need to send it again.

Can I send an audiobook? Yes, if it's a single file (for example, an M4B). Audiobooks made of several files can't be sent for now, and only one can be on its way at a time. They're large: better on Wi-Fi, and don't close the app until the upload finishes.

What if I want the book always available on all my devices? That's what Kevra Cloud (Pro) is for: the book stays stored until you delete it, and you download it whenever you want.

Does it reach my Kobo, Xteink or KOReader? While it's waiting to be picked up, what you've sent appears under "Sent to Kevra" in their catalogs. See Kobo, Xteink and KOReader.

Can I send myself books from my computer? Yes, by email: see Send books to Kevra by email.
