Walkthroughs, setup guides, and what we’re changing in the product. Already have an ebook file? Send an EPUB to your Kindle.
One line in your Bear footer lets readers send the post they’re on straight to their Kindle. No account, for you or for them: the same line works on every Bear blog. Where to paste it and what your readers see.
Three ways to read the web on a Kindle, compared honestly: what each one is built for, what it costs in 2026, and which to pick for one-off articles, a reading list, or a daily digest.
Not through Amazon: the Kindle edition ended in 2023. But you can have the Times' headlines and summaries on your Kindle every morning, set up in a minute. That, plus every way to get full articles.
Every Substack has an RSS feed, including the ones on custom domains. How to find it, how to get new posts onto your Kindle automatically, and what happens to paid posts.
Your Send to Kindle address ends in @kindle.com, and it's in three places: the Amazon website, the Kindle itself, and nowhere in the phone app. Where to look, how to approve a sender, and why documents don't arrive.
Where readers actually find free ebooks: public domain libraries, publisher giveaways and daily deal emails, compared side by side, with notes on formats, accounts and copyright.
Why I put it up, how a bit of vibe coding turned into a completely different morning routine, and what six months of building actually looks like.
