1
Install Amazon’s Send to Kindle app from the App Store or Google Play (it’s free).
2
Download the EPUB to your phone/tablet (from your order email or account page).

Delivery usually takes under a minute once your Kindle is online.

Tip: If you don’t see it yet, tap the three dots on your Kindle and choose Sync.

Option C — Email your EPUB to your Kindle

1
Find your unique Send-to-Kindle email: Amazon → Manage Your Content & DevicesPreferencesPersonal Document Settings. You’ll see an address like name_123@kindle.com.

Open your Kindle app/device and sync. The book appears in your Library.

If it doesn’t arrive, add your sending email to the “Approved Personal Document E-mail List” in the same Amazon settings screen.
