Send to Kindle

Although the evolution of technology grabbed the majority of attention and infiltrated daily activities, old habits haven’t died. For instance, reading is now possible on dedicated devices such as the Kindle. To quickly upload documents and books to your device, then Send to Kindle is a little application which can do this in a matter of seconds.

After a quick setup process, the application is ready to use, with no system restart required, even though it creates a new entry in the context menu. However, before you benefit from all it has to offer, you need to sign into your Amazon account, or create one otherwise. Your Kindle device also needs to be registered before any files can be sent to it. Needless to say that your device needs to be connected to the PC during file transfer.

There are several, incredibly easy methods of uploading files to your Kindle device. On the one hand, the context menu entry allows you to select one or more files, and have them beamed this way. The small configuration window shows up to specify a few general details, such as device, title, author, and whether or not to archive the document to your Kindle Library.

Another quick method is from inside a document. This saves you some time, and can even be initiated from your web browser. It’s all possible because the installation also delivers a virtual printer. As such, hitting Print in any printable document and selecting the Send to Kindle virtual device takes you again to the upload window.

Last but not least, you can upload files from the main window itself. With it up, it becomes a drop zone for one or more files. The same configuration screen appears like the previous methods. An additional option can be used to convert any document to PDF before it’s uploaded to your device. In case you’re printing online documents, you can set up a Proxy connection.

You probably take your Kindle device wherever you go, and with Send to Kindle no time is wasted to upload documents, books, or comic strips you want to read on the move. Installation requires little time and effort, while the diversity of options to upload files makes it accessible to a large variety of individuals.
