INSTAPAPER KINDLE FREE

Users are given 30 free credits each month to use each credit allows you to send a single article. You can register for a free Push to Kindle account which saves your default settings, or you can use the tool without an account (and just furnish the requisite information as needed). Push to Kindle is reliable and fast: I haven’t experienced any delays I’ve sent via this service (as opposed to occasional delays from Amazon’s own “Send to Kindle” service). To do this, look for the edit link on the preview screen and toggle images off. You can omit the images if you want only want text to be sent. Instead of sending a verbatim webpage, Push to Kindle sends you just the article contents of the page: text and images (much like a browser’s “reader view” does). One reason I like Push to Kindle is that the service smartly removes all the extraneous navigational cruft and advertising from the target website. Here are the instructions for setting up Push to Kindle. Amazon requires this step in order to prevent unwanted spam from invading your Kindle. You will need to whitelist the FiveFilters sending address before submitting your article. Once the target content is identified either by pasting a URL or by clicking a button or bookmark, Push To Kindle returns a page where you can provide details about the dedicated device email address, formatting options, and an article preview.

Via browser extension (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Edge).

Via bookmarklet (using a JavaScript snippet).

Push to Kindle offers are number of tools to accomplish this: Best of all: it’s free (there’s a premium tier too, but the free tier is sufficient for all but the most active users). It’s not the most feature-rich solution, but it is the best tool for sending individual articles to a Kindle. Push to Kindle is easily my favorite tool for getting web content onto my Paperwhite. What follows is an overview of some of those solutions I’ll start with my preferred tool and then cover some of the alternatives. Thankfully, there are a number of niche tools that do exactly this. The better solution is to use tools that will take text-first content and convert it into a Kindle readable format. All Kindle e-readers include an “Experimental Browser”, but it’s notoriously bad and the page rendering is painfully slow (frankly it’s been labeled “experimental” as long as I can remember). The trick, of course, is transferring web-based content onto the Kindle.

Moreover, using the Kindle also equips you with the device’s excellent annotation features which can be referenced, shared and even used with 3rd party tools like Readwise.

Not only is it great for consuming ebooks, it’s also excellent for reading articles and long-form content found on the web (this is how I consume much of the content highlighted in my weekly link roundup and Substack newsletter).

The Paperwhite’s singular focus (no apps, games, or video) makes it the ideal tool for distraction-free reading. The biggest advantage the Kindle Paperwhite has over the flashier, multi-purpose Kindle Fire is that it does one thing really well: it provides a top-notch reading experience in a variety of contexts-at home, on the go, upright, on your back, in the dark and in bright sunlight.
