Having the possibility to send ebooks to your Kindle via email is already quite nice, but I often come across great news or blog articles and would like to read them later on the Kindle. Also, I save a lot of content in Pocket and would like to have the possibility to send all of it to my e-reader. Thankfully, there are ways that make this just as easy as clicking one button in your browser.
Send all kinds of online articles to your Kindle with Klip.me
Klip.me offers a Chrome and Safari browser extension called ‘Send to Kindle‘. It’s easy to install and you only need to follow a few steps to set it up. That’s it. Now, whenever you want to send an article to your device, just click on the Klip.me icon in your browser and then on the send button. If you’re using another browser, you should try the ‘Send to Kindle’-bookmark. Simply drag the bookmark from their website to your bookmark bar and use it instead of the extension.
Send your Pocket article list to your Kindle
If you’re willing to pay $6 a year for a fully automated tool, then En2Kindle is the best way to send articles stored in your Pocket (or Evernote) account to your Kindle. En2Kindle offers a one-week trial, so you can try it out and then decide if it’s worth the money. If you don’t want to pay for such a service, you can use the e-book library manager Calibre to send your Pocket list to your Kindle for free. This method, however, requires some work since you need to connect your device to your computer and manually send your Pocket feed to your Kindle. You need to do this every time you want new content on it. To set this up, just follow this guide and add a custom RSS feed to Calibre with your Pocket feed URL. To add a custom RSS feed, click on the dropdown arrow next to ‘Fetch News’ in Calibre. Personally, I wouldn’t go through all the hassle and transfer my Pocket feed every other day using Calibre. If you’re an active Pocket user and read a lot of blog articles, then you should invest a few bucks and use En2Kindle. If you know any other ways to send content to your Kindle, please share them with us in the comments.
