The most direct way is Amazon's Send to Kindle extension for Chrome: open the article, click the Kindle icon, and choose to send the full page, preview it first, or send only the selected text. From another browser, save the article as a PDF and upload it with Send to Kindle for Web or send it by email.
The steps and limits come from Amazon's help pages, checked on October 6, 2026.
This guide is part of A guide to saving articles and reading them later, which organizes every guide on the topic.
How do you use the Send to Kindle extension?
According to Amazon's extension page:
- Install the Send to Kindle extension in Chrome.
- On the page you want to send, click the Kindle icon in the extensions toolbar.
- Choose Quick send (sends the full page to your library), Preview and send (shows how the page will look on Kindle), or Send selection (sends only the text you selected).
- History shows the pages you sent in the last 30 days.
- In the extension's settings, choose whether content is added to your library on all devices or sent only to specific devices.
Amazon lists HTM and HTML as the extension's supported file types.
What if you don't use Chrome?
The extension Amazon documents is for Chrome. From another browser, you can save the article as a PDF, ideally without ads by using reader view, as explained in Print an article without ads, and then use one of the other routes in Amazon's help:
- Send to Kindle for Web: upload documents of 200 MB or smaller. Amazon recommends turning on Add to your library so you can download them on any device linked to your account.
- Apps: there are Send to Kindle apps for Mac and Windows, and you can also send from the Kindle app for iOS and Android.
Supported formats are PDF, EPUB, HTML, RTF, TXT, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP.
How do you send an article by email?
Each Kindle device and app on your account has its own Send to Kindle email address. According to Amazon's email help:
- You can send up to 25 attachments in one email, 50 MB in total; for more, Amazon suggests compressing them into a ZIP file.
- Only up to 15 approved addresses can send: add yours to the Approved Personal Document Email List on Manage Your Content and Devices.
- The document must be attached and in a supported format, and Amazon attempts delivery for up to 60 days.
Before you send: three checks
These checks are an original KeepAnalog suggestion, not Amazon's steps:
- Use the preview for long or image-heavy articles, so you know what will come through.
- Keep the link or the PDF too: what you send lives in your Kindle library, and the original page can change or disappear, as covered in When links disappear.
- Don't send everything: a library that only grows becomes another pile; Saving is not returning suggests how to get back to what's waiting.
Kindle or paper?
It depends on what you will do with the text; Paper or screen by reading task helps you decide. If you prefer paper, KeepAnalog takes eligible public links that one person chooses (HTML pages or PDFs) and turns them into a monthly printed issue. The preview shows each piece's title, byline when there is one, and source site, and nothing is printed or charged until the person approves the issue. For now, the pilot is in Argentina only, with no delivery in the United States.
