If you’re a habitual news reader who enjoys long form articles and gets the news from an Android Device or PC, here’s an app & extension to send the article from your device to the Kindle in just two taps.
Push Articles from Android Device or PC to Kindle
Creating a Kindle Address
Step 2: Scroll down till you see Send-to-Kindle Email Settings. Step 3: Under the Name column, look for the Device you’ve named. Next to the device name, you’ll see E-mail address and an Edit button. Click on Edit. Step 4: Set the email address of your choice and press Save. It’s usually a string of characters but you can personalise according to your preferences.
Step 5: Scroll further down till you see Approved Personal Document E-mail List. This may seem like a confusing option so let me explain what this does. To prevent others from spamming your Kindle devices with attachments, you can set specific whitelisted emails which are the only ones that are allowed to send attachments successfully to your Kindle. I would suggest you add your personal email address to this list.

Chrome Extension: Push to Kindle
While Push to Kindle Android app costs $3.49, the Chrome extension is free. Setting up the extension is the same as the app. Press the icon to bring up settings. From there simply enter the Kindle email address and the Whitelisted e-mail address. To use the extension, while browsing press the Push to Kindle extension icon from the active tab and it will prompt you to enter the details before sending it while showing a preview of how it will look on a Kindle. If you press Remember me then it will automatically send without having to enter the details every time. In case you’d like to send a PDF, you can directly email the attachment from the whitelisted email account to the Kindle email address. RELATED: Create EPUB Books and Read Them on Google Books
