you're right. it's an e-reader that you can email any epub file to and it'll read it. if you don't want to pirate, there's a functional store. what more do people need?
- palata 2y agoPeople say that Kobo is hackable. Is it not possible to set up an email workflow there as well? Shouldn't be too hard, right?
- permo-w 2y agoI don't know about kobo, but I know that with kindle you don't even have to hack it to do that, it's just a default feature
- toyg 2y ago> you can email any ePub file Except when you can't, like literally yesterday: subscribed to Asimov's, sent ePub, got a link, clicked a link, "that link is not valid". Repeat, same message. Why? Who knows? My next ereader won't be a Kindle.
- permo-w 2y agoyou probably just didn't send it from a verified send-to-kindle email address. either add the email or send the epub from your kindle account email
- int_19h 2y agoCan you clarify what you mean by "got a link"? If you're using Send to Email, there shouldn't be any links involved. You just, well, send an email to the designated address with the ePub attached, and it shows up in your library shortly after.
- toyg 2y agoAmazon asks you to verify the upload was intended, by sending a link you need to click. It's been like that for years.
- sevenseacat 2y agoI've been sending files to my Kindle for years, I've never seen that.
- int_19h 2y agoFWIW I have been using that feature for well over a decade, with several hundred third party books in my Kindle library, and I haven't seen what you described once. Is the sender on the pre-approved list in Send to Email settings?
