Preparation
- Kindle with WIFI connection (mine is Kindle Paperwhite 2, bought from Japan)
- Amazon account (Registered with your kindle; for email sending)
- IFTTT account (for
.mobi
, most easy way) - Dropbox account (for
.mobi
)
Why Two Account
Copyright problem
.mobi
can be sent by email to amazon account while .azw3
cannot. But why still using .azw3
? Because it supports x-ray
or Word Wise
, which gives you hot highlights and difficult words hints respectively.
Sending ".mobi" Files
Find the Kindle Email Address
Two methods: 1. From Kindle (recommended) 2. From web
From Kindle
Settings --> Device Options --> Personalise your Kindle Then the Email address will show at the bottom.
From web
Here we use the Amazon.com account for example. To know the email addriese, follow the step: Your Account --> Manage Your Content and Devices --> Settings --> Personal Document Settings --> Send-to-Kindle E-Mail Settings
Set Up
Set up IFTTT by creating a folder named kindle
in Dropbox and add the Kindle email address to that IFTTT Recipe.
How to Use
Put any .mobi
files you want to read to that Dropbox folder. It will sync to your Kindle within 10 minutes.
Sending ".azw3" Files
Put .azw3
files to your Dropbox folder (any folder) and download it from the Kindle browser.
