One of my favorite pastimes in the evening is kicking back, putting my feet up, and reading news, blogs, reviews, and more from the web. My iPad Pro used to be my go-to device for reading. However, since I got my first Kindle recently, I’ve been using it at night instead. It’s much better on my eyes, especially after staring at a bright screen all day for work.

While I have enjoyed reading plenty of ebooks on my Kindle, I began to miss being able to read articles from the web conveniently. Sometimes, I would set down my Kindle to read on my iPad instead because of this. This got me thinking: Is there an easy way to read articles on my Kindle? And it turns out there is a super-easy way, and the best part is that it’s officially from Amazon — no third-party app required.

….if you use Google Chrome on your computer or the Kindle app on your phone, you can send articles directly to your Kindle with two button clicks…

Amazon has an app called Send to Kindle, which allows users to send tons of different file types to their Kindle, such as PDFs, DOCs, HTML and more. This means you can download web articles as PDFs or HTML, and send them to your Kindle. Plus, if you use Google Chrome on your computer or the Kindle app on your phone, you can send articles directly to your Kindle with two button clicks. It’s that easy, and it works on all Kindle models. Here’s how it works, and how you can get started doing the same thing.

How to send articles to your Kindle using Chrome

Catch up with the news on your Kindle

There are four primary ways you can send articles to your Kindle. You can use Amazon’s official Send to Kindle website, the desktop Send to Kindle app, the Kindle app on your phone, or the Send to Kindle Google Chrome extension.

I will start with the Google Chrome extension, as it’s become my favorite way to send articles to my Kindle throughout the day quickly. Here’s how to download it and set it up.

1. Head to amazon.com/sendtokindle.

2. Select the Chrome Extension option and download it from the Chrome Web Store.

3. Open the extension and sign in to the Amazon account linked to your Kindle.

4. Once you’re signed in, pin the extension to Google Chrome.

5. Find a web article you want to read.

6. Open the Send to Kindle Chrome extension and select Quick Send or Preview and Send. Quick Send analyzes the web page and sends it to your Kindle immediately, while Preview and Send loads up a preview that allows you to check the article and rename it before you send it.

7. The article you sent will appear on your Kindle in a few minutes.

I find the Google Chrome extension to be the best way to send articles to my Kindle since I’m at my computer for work during the day, and it’s very easy to see something and send it to my Kindle to read later. However, if you want to send articles to your Kindle from your phone, you can do that too.

Other ways to send articles and files to your Kindle

You can download the Send to Kindle app on Mac and Windows

Besides the Google Chrome Extension and the Kindle app on your phone, there are two other popular ways to send files or articles to your Kindle: using the desktop app on Mac or Windows, or straight from the Send to Kindle website.

If you go to Amazon’s Send to Kindle website, you can drag and drop any of the supported file types into the box on the site and send them right to your Kindle.

You can send the following file types to your Kindle: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, HTM, HTML, PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, and EPUB. However, the maximum file size supported is 200 MB.

If you don’t use Google Chrome, you can save a web article as a PDF and then download it to your Kindle using the Send to Kindle website. When you’re on a web page you want to send, right-click on it and select print, then choose to save it as a PDF instead and upload it to the Send to Kindle website.

The Send to Kindle app on Mac and Windows is another handy way to send files to your Kindle. You can download the app from the Send to Kindle website. Once you install it and link it to your Amazon account, you can send files to your Kindle right from your desktop on Mac or Windows.
