2 Save web pages to your Amazon Kindle
Pocket doesn’t work with the Kindle ebook reader, though Amazon has built an extension that works in a very similar manner. You also can email non-web content to your Kindle, which will be added to your library. If you’re using Chrome or Edge, visit www.snipca.
com/35052 and click ‘Add to Chrome’ to install the ‘Send to Kindle’ extension on your browser. Amazon hasn’t made an extension for Firefox, but we’ll work around that later.
When you’ve added the extension, you’ll be redirected to Amazon and asked to log in. Provide your email address and password, then decide which Kindle should receive the content you send to your account. The list of devices might be longer than you think if you’ve installed the Kindle app on your phone or tablet, as these will count as Kindles in their own right. Find the one you want to use and tick the box beside it (‘Kindle Paperwhite’ 1 in our screenshot below left).
From now, when you want to send a web page to your Kindle, you just need to click the ‘k’ button on your browser toolbar ( 2 in screenshot below left), then select ‘Send to Kindle’, or ‘Preview and Send’ if you want to see what it will strip out of the page to make it easier to read.
To read the page on your Kindle, switch it on and make sure it’s connected to Wi-fi. If it doesn’t automatically check the server for new content, force it to refresh your local device content. The process for doing this differs between devices but, on a touchscreen Kindle, tap the cog at the top of the screen, then tap Sync Your Kindle (see screenshot below).
On older devices, including keyboardbased Kindles, open the menu and select ‘Sync & Check for Items’. In our tests, we found that pages sent from the
browser were typically ready to read on our Kindle within a few seconds – see screenshot above for an example.
