It’s a bit ugly but it does what it says and works well. I’m specifically focusing on the Mac since that’s all I know other users will have to venture elsewhere.Ĭalibre is a Java application which is an eBook management suite. Since I went through the effort of converting all of my Kindle documents, I figured I’d write a mini guide to getting it done. I could use the Kindle app for iOS but I’ve found iBooks to be faster at syncing read position, and it feels a lot more natural to use. So I’ve converted all of my Kindle purchases to ePubs for use in iBooks. Partly because I forget to charge it, and partly because I can never get the lighting in my favorite reading locations quite right. As time has progressed, I’ve found myself using my physical Kindle less and less.
Once that’s been done Calibre can be set up to send via Gmail in the “Sharing books by email” section of the preferences.I started off reading eBooks from the Amazon Kindle store. If you can’t see the Security > Signing in to Google > App passwords section and the above link doesn’t work then you’ll need to enable 2-Step verification if you haven’t already (thanks Meghan). Once that’s been done you need to create an app password in your Gmail account to allow Calibre to send emails, this can be done here by adding a new device and copying the generated password for use later. The first thing to take care of is whitelisting the email address you plan to send documents to your Kindle from, this can be done in the “Manage your Devices” page as explained here. I’ve just built a new computer and have been setting up all my software on it again, as part of that I need to set up Calibre to download news and send it to my Kindle via my Gmail account.
