Today, we are constantly glued to screens – be it on mobile phones or desktop computers. Sitting in front of these illuminated color screens for long hours is harmful to our eyes. And no, that’s not an assumption. There is even a name for that condition.
In this digital age, how do the eyes get that much needed rest? E-ink screens are the solution to this problem because they look and act like paper and don’t cause as much stress as others.
While they’re great for reading, the E-ink display makes browsing the web on a Kindle device an uncomfortable experience. But, as always, there is a workaround. Instead of uploading complicated web pages on your Kindle, why not submit a minimal version of an article, containing only the text and some header image? Find out how this can be done.
1. Save Any Webpage With ‘Send To Kindle’
The official Amazon Send To Kindle extension is all you need to send any type of website, blog or article directly to your Kindle device. It is available for both Chrome and Firefox.
Once the extension is installed, you will be asked to sign in to your Amazon account and select the device you want to send the article to. You can select multiple devices here. When you’re done, select Rescue.
Now, when you come across a web page or a lengthy article that you want to send to your Kindle, from your Chrome menubar, select Send to Kindle extension. From the pop-up window, you can select and send the simplified version or just the highlighted portion of the article directly to your device. Wait a few seconds and the problem should show up in your Kindle Document part.
2. Submit a book made of articles
You may also come across a lot of articles that you want to read during the day or weekend. If you decide to submit each article individually, finding and curating the right content later on can be a daunting task. Here, enter Reading List for help.
Reading List is a project of Readability through which you can add any number of links you want. It will create a simplified version of that page (no images) and package it in an EPUB or MOBI file that you can then download or send directly to your device using a unique email address of Kindle.
Go to Readlists.com and sign in with your Readability account if you want to save your Reading List for later reference. You don’t need to create an account to save your Reading List.
Just start copying and pasting the URL of the article you want to save. Depending on the volume of articles you have to save, this may take some time. When you’re done, add a title to your reading list and select Send to Kindle select.
When the pop-up opens, go to your Kindle settings page and add [email protected] to your approved list.
Next, enter the unique email address for your Kindle e-reader and press Send to Kindle. After a few seconds, the book with the articles as chapters will show up on your device.
3. Send files by email
You can use any type of email service to send files and books to your Kindle — attach files to emails and send them to your Kindle email address. The Kindle server will scan the attachment and if it is compatible with your device, it will be sent immediately. Here is a list of compatible file formats:
• Microsoft Word (.DOC, .DOCX)
• HTML (.HTML, .HTM)
• RTF (.RTF)
• JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG)
• Kindle format (.MOBI, .AZW)
• GIF images (.GIF)
• PNG (.PNG)
• BMP (.BMP)
• PDF (.PDF)
Many people don’t know that in addition to e-books, one can also send PDF files, PNG images, HTML pages, Word documents, etc. to one’s Kindle device.
