Step-by-Step Tutorial!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

One of the many good things about electronic books, especially Kindle books, is that you can purchase them using Amazon gift cards<\/a>. You can also share them with other people through different mediums. Even if you just want to have your books on several devices, you\u2019ll want to know how to transfer kindle books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can transfer your Kindle books by signing into your Amazon account on another device or sending them via email or with a USB cable. You can also share them using the loan feature and the Kindle Family Library.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways to move Kindle books from one place to another. Depending on your situation, some may be more convenient than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Transfer Using the Same Amazon Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re getting a new Kindle and want to transfer your books from an old device to the new one, look no further than this. And I mean it: you don\u2019t have to do anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you sign into your new Kindle with your Amazon account, you\u2019ll be able to view all the books you’ve bought on the Kindle store. Just make sure you\u2019ve selected \u201cAll\u201d instead of \u201cDownloaded.\u201d Simply download the books you want to read by tapping on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may want to remove your Amazon account information on your first Kindle device. You can have a maximum of 15 Kindle devices using the same Amazon account. However, only 6 of those devices can read the same book simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you mean to transfer books that you didn\u2019t buy on the Kindle Store? That\u2019s what the next solutions are for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Send Books to Your Kindle Email Address<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have non-Kindle books, this is simply the easiest and most reliable way to get them into your Kindle. I know we\u2019ve been mostly talking about Kindle books, but the send-to-Kindle<\/a> is one of those features that I think not enough people know about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By non-Kindle books I mean any digital book that you bought outside of Amazon or downloaded from a copyright-free repository. Applying this method to books you bought on Amazon is not only a hassle, but it\u2019s also not allowed by Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you start, you\u2019ll need to have your send-to-Kindle address at hand. I’ve covered the topic of how to locate your Kindle email address in another article<\/a><\/strong> with full details. Do make sure to check that out as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, here’s the basic steps you need to follow – simply go to “Settings” on your Kindle or on the Kindle App on your smartphone. You\u2019ll see your Kindle\u2019s unique address at the top of the screen. If you want, you can also take the chance to change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to send books to your Kindle via Email:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Connect your Kindle device to your home\u2019s Wi-Fi network.<\/li>
  2. Log in to your Amazon account using your credentials.<\/li>
  3. Click \u2018Account & Lists,\u2019 then click \u2018Your Content and Devices.\u2019<\/li>
  4. Now click on the Preferences tab.<\/li>
  5. Click \u2018Personal Document Settings.\u2019<\/li>
  6. Click \u2018Add a new approved email address\u2019 and supply the email address you will use to transfer your Kindle book.<\/li>
  7. Open your email, compose a message, and enter your Kindle address.<\/li>
  8. Attach your book and send the email.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s it! The book will be available on all your Kindle devices, including smartphones with the Kindle app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The formats supported by this feature are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Microsoft Word<\/li>
    • HTML<\/li>
    • RTF<\/li>
    • Text<\/li>
    • JPEG<\/li>
    • GIF<\/li>
    • PNG<\/li>
    • BMP<\/li>
    • PDF<\/li>
    • EPUB<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      If you\u2019ve been a Kindle reader for a while, you might notice a change in the list. Previously, Kindle didn\u2019t support ePubs. If you wanted to put an ePub on your kindle, you had to convert it to MOBI or AZW before you could send it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Starting in late 2022, Amazon is changing things. Send-to-Kindle will no longer support MOBI and will start supporting ePub. It\u2019s not clear why Amazon took this turn, but it\u2019s likely a way to crack down on piracy and encourage users to buy books on the Kindle store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The truth is that Kindle isn\u2019t actually \u201csupporting\u201d ePub. Amazon is simply converting ePub to compatible Kindle formats behind doors\u2014and, for some reason, stripping them off their cover image in the process.
