Don’t use your Kindle at allįor completeness you can, of course, read the “.mobi” book on your computer or laptop without needing a Kindle at all.ĭownload and install the Kindle Reader application for your computer, laptop, tablet or any number of other devices. I personally find the email approach above to be much more reliable. Also note that copying a book to the device in this manner does not place it in your Kindle library for other devices. Note: in my experience the various lists of books provided by the Kindle device can sometimes take a while to update. In either case copy the “.mobi” file into the folder “Books” (Kindle Fire devices) or “Documents” (Kindle Paperwhite and older devices) in the device’s internal storage.Īfter it has been copied safely disconnect your Kindle and the book should appear on the device’s list of books.

In Windows Explorer / File Explorer your Kindle will either appear as an additional drive, or as a Kindle device.

The other approach is relatively simple, but in my experience a tad less reliable.Ĭonnect your Kindle device to your PC using a USB cable. And of course your Kindle must be online in order to receive the download. Note that either or both of these can take a little time before they appear, and before they appear across all your devices.

You can then download it to any of your other Kindle devices without needing to email it again. mobi file will also be placed in your Kindle library. mobi file will be delivered to that Kindle the same way that purchased books are delivered. mobi file to your Kindle, two things should happen: All that matters is the “.mobi” file attached. The email message Subject and Body are optional, and completely ignored. If the address you want to use isn’t listed, you can add it. You must send your document from one of these email addresses in order for it to be accepted. Scroll down further to the “Approved Personal Document E-mail List”: This gives you another overview list of all the email addresses associated with all of your Kindle devices and mobile applications (I told you we had several 🙂 ), but without the device picture for easy identification.
First scroll down to the “Send-to-Kindle E-Mail Settings” portion of the page: There’s one more step: authorizing the sender.Ĭlick on the Settings tab. I actually have it in my address book as “Leo’s Kindle Fire” so I can quickly compose a message to it. It’ll be of the form, where “” is probably a combination of name and numbers. Click on the “ Your Devices” tab to see the Kindle devices and applications that are associated with your account:Īs you can see, I’ve clicked on one of my Kindles (we have several), and beneath it the page lists the email address associated with that Kindle. It defaults to showing you “Your Content,” the Kindle books and other items in your library. To find the email address of your Kindle, login to your Amazon account and visit the Manage Your Content & Devices () page: You can simply email the “.mobi” file as an attachment to the email address associated with your Kindle. Not everyone realizes it, but every Kindle activated with an Amazon account is assigned a unique email address. If this is a problem, just save the action as an application instead and either stick it in your dock or in the toolbar of you Finder window, from where it is just a click away.Turns out there are at least two different ways to get that book onto your Kindle.Īnd then of course you can also read the book without a Kindle device at all. There are some workarounds on the web, notably the third-party Automator action called “ Check for Disk”, which will only run the action when a specific drive is mounted, but I could’t make it work.

There is one problem with this method: right now it will trigger the script when any drive is plugged in, which could be a pain on a portable Mac. Now, whenever you plug in your Kindle, this action will grab the latest copy of Instapaper and add it to the e-reader, ready to go. Save the action, giving it a recognizable name. Last, pick the action “Download URLs” and then, in the popup, navigate to the “documents” folder of your Kindle. I am assuming here that Automator presents itself as Safari and uses its cookies.
Some magic seems to happen here: The actual url is generic - “” - so you need to be logged in to actually get your file. Next, add the action “Get Specified URLs” and enter the URL you copied earlier. this will get you to the volumes folder, which is where any mounted disk lives. The easiest way to do this is to press Cmd-Shift-G together and type in “/Volumes/” (without the quotes). At the top you need to choose the “Volumes” folder. Next, create a new workflow in Automator and choose to make a “Folder Action”.
