How to send Substack posts to your Kindle

Long Substack essays are exactly the kind of reading an e-ink screen is good at. Substack does not have a "Send to Kindle" button of its own, but there are several easy ways to get a post into your Kindle library. Which one is best depends on whether you want to send one post now, or have new posts arrive automatically.

Disclosure: we make ArticleFerry, the browser extension in Way 2. The other methods do not involve us.

Before you start

Every email-based method needs your Kindle's @kindle.com address and an approved sender address. You find both in Amazon's Manage Your Content and Devices → Preferences → Personal Document Settings. Our guide on sending a web article to your Kindle covers the setup step by step.

Way 1: From your phone, with the Kindle app

If you read Substack in the Substack app on a phone that also has the Kindle app installed, the share menu is the quickest route. Several Substack writers describe the same steps:

1. Open the post in the Substack app and tap Share.
2. Choose Kindle from the list of apps.
3. Pick where it should go (your library or a specific device) and confirm.

The post is added to your Kindle library and downloads to your Kindle at the next sync. If Kindle is not in the list, check that the Kindle app is installed and signed in; on iPhone, the More button at the end of the app row shows hidden apps.

Way 2: From your computer, with a browser extension

On a laptop, a browser extension turns the post you are reading into a Kindle-friendly file. ArticleFerry, our free extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, works well with Substack's clean layout:

1. Open the Substack post in your browser. For a paid post, make sure you are signed in so the full text is on the page.
2. Click the ArticleFerry icon. Check the preview: the title, the author (the newsletter's writer) and the word count.
3. Click Download & open Gmail. A new message opens addressed to your Kindle. Attach the EPUB and press Send.

ArticleFerry builds the EPUB on your computer and never uploads the post anywhere, so it works the same for free and paid posts you can read. Please keep paid posts for your own reading: sharing them breaks the writer's terms and their livelihood.

Other extensions such as Push to Kindle and Amazon's Chrome extension also work on Substack. See our comparison of Send to Kindle alternatives.

Way 3: Automatically, with an RSS digest

If you follow several newsletters and want new posts to just appear on your Kindle, use RSS. Every Substack publication has a public feed at its address followed by /feed, for example https://example.substack.com/feed. A digest service reads those feeds and emails you an ebook on a schedule:

• RSS to Kindle sends new posts every morning as one ebook with a table of contents. Its site lists a free plan of two articles a day (text only) and a paid plan at $60 a year.
• Read-later services such as Instapaper can also send Kindle digests, but since 19 February 2026 Instapaper's Kindle delivery requires its Premium plan.

Paid posts and RSS: a public feed usually contains only the free part of a paid post. For the full text, use Way 1 or Way 2 while signed in.

Way 4: Save a file and upload it

If you do not want to install anything, save the post as a file and use Amazon's Send to Kindle web uploader, which accepts EPUB, PDF, HTML and more. In your browser, open the post, switch to reader view to drop the page clutter, then print it to PDF or save it as HTML. PDFs do not reflow on a Kindle, so EPUB or HTML reads better. Our guide on converting a web page to EPUB explains the options.

Which way should you use?

• Reading on your phone: Way 1, the share menu.
• Reading on a laptop, one post at a time: Way 2, a browser extension.
• Several newsletters, every day, hands-off: Way 3, an RSS digest.
• Once in a while, nothing to install: Way 4.

FAQ

Does Substack have a Send to Kindle feature?

Not a dedicated one. Substack's help pages do not document a Kindle integration, so people use the phone share menu, an extension or RSS.

Can I send paid Substack posts to my Kindle?

Yes, for your own reading, as long as you are signed in so the full post is on the page (Way 1 or Way 2). RSS feeds usually only include the free preview.

Do the same methods work for Medium and other newsletters?

Yes. The share menu, browser extensions and the uploader work with most article sites. Pages behind a login need you to be signed in.

Why does my Substack post show the wrong title on Kindle?

Amazon often uses the file name as the title. Rename the file to Post Title - Author.epub before sending. ArticleFerry does this automatically.
