Amazon converts that epub into azw3 for viewing on kindle.\nSo you can use kindle-send, even if you're using a different ereader like Kobo and Remarkable if it supports pushing ebooks via email.\n\n\n\n---\n\n### Installation\n\nTo run kindle-send you just need the compiled binary, no other dependency is required.\n\n#### Brew\n\nKindle-send can be installed via brew\n\n```sh\nbrew install nikhil1raghav/tap/kindle-send\n```\n\n#### Download binary\n\nDownload the binary for your operating system and architecture from [release page](https://github.com/nikhil1raghav/kindle-send/releases) and add it to your [PATH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable)).\nIf there is no binary compatible for your system. Please create an issue.\n\n\n#### Go install\n\nIf you have golang installed, you can also install kindle-send using\n\n```sh\ngo install github.com/nikhil1raghav/kindle-send@latest\n```\n\n\nFor the first time when you run `kindle-send`, you need to answer some questions to create a configuration file, which has options like sender, receiver, password and path to store the generated files.\n\n\nIf you're using gmail to send mails to kindle, consider creating an [app password](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en-GB) and then using it.\n\n\n---\n\n\n\n### Following modes of operation are supported\n\n__1. Send a file__\n\nUsing `kindle-send` to mail an already existing file.\n\n```sh\nkindle-send send Jane-eyre-Autobiography.epub\n```\n\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg width=\"100%\" src=\"assets/sendfile-new.svg\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n__2. Send a webpage__\n\nQuickly send a webpage to kindle\n\n\n```sh\nkindle-send send http://paulgraham.com/hwh.html\n```\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg width=\"100%\" src=\"assets/sendurl-new.svg\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n__3. Multiple webpages combined in a single volume__\n\n\nCreate a text file with new line separated links of webpages and then all the webpages mentioned in the file will be bound in a single ebook as chapters and sent to ereader.\n\n\n\n```sh\nkindle-send send links.txt\n```\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg width=\"100%\" src=\"assets/send-link-file-new.svg\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n__4. Send Multiple files at once__\n\nYou can send multiple files or links at once.\n\n`kindle-send` auto detects the type of file and takes required action.\n\n\nEach argument is sent as a separate file.\n\n\nFor example, the command below will send an html page (converted to ebook), an ebook and a collection of bookmarks post downloading the webpages and creating an ebook from them.\n\n\n```sh\nkindle-send send http://paulgraham.com/hwh.html jane-eyre-autobiography.epub some-links.txt\n```\n\n\n\n__5. Download but not send__\n\nIf you just want to save a webpage for reading later, replace `send` with `download` and the files will be saved in local directory but will not be sent to an ereader.\n\nExample\n\n```sh\nkindle-send download https://blog.maxgio.me/posts/linux-scheduler-journey/\n```\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg width=\"100%\" src=\"assets/download-new.svg\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n### Additional options\n\nDefault timeout for mail is 2 minutes, if you get timeout error while sending bigger files. Increase the timeout using `--mail-timeout \u003cnumber of seconds\u003e` or `-m` option\n\n\n\nSpecify a different configuration file using `--config` or `-c` option. Configuration is stored in home directory as `KindleConfig.json`. You can directly edit it if you want.\n\n\nWhen sending a collection of pages if no title is provided, volume takes the title of the first page.\n\nYou can always get more information about usage of commands and options by typing `kindle-send help`\n\n\n---\n\n## Contribute\n\nFeel free to create an issue and then working on some feature, so that we don't overwrite each other.\n\n\n## Todo\n\n- [ ] Weekly RSS feed dump, when combined with `cron`\n- [ ] Better CSS \u0026 formatting for epub\n- [ ] Compressing images before embedding to reduce final file size\n- [ ] Simple UI form driven by CLI. Something like `kindle-send dashboard`.\n- [x] Auto detect file type\n- [x] Option to download but not send the files\n- [x] Remove dependency on percollate and calibre\n- [x] Make installation easier, add brew and other package managers.\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnikhil1raghav%2Fkindle-send","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnikhil1raghav%2Fkindle-send","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnikhil1raghav%2Fkindle-send/lists"}
