How it works

Three steps.
Zero friction.

i.

Connect your Kindle

Add to your Kindle’s Approved Senders list. Takes 90 seconds — we walk you through it.

ii.

Paste a link

From the app, the Chrome extension, or by forwarding any email to your Folio address. Works with light paywalls and PDFs too.

iii.

Read in peace

The article shows up on your Kindle in seconds — clean typography, justified paragraphs, no ads or popups.

Not just URLs

Got a PDF?
Send that too.

White papers, academic articles, that long PDF you’ve been meaning to read on the couch. Upload it, we deliver as a clean Kindle e-book.

  • Drop the file

    Pick a PDF from your computer (up to 25MB). We upload it straight to secure storage — never touches third parties.

  • OCR when needed

    Modern PDFs come with text embedded — extraction is instant. Scanned pages get OCR fallback automatically.

  • Same delivery flow

    Use immediate send, or batch into your daily/weekly edition just like web articles. Your typography settings apply.

PDFs up to 50 pages and 25MB. Larger documents in v1.x.

Who reads with us

From book editors
to founders tired of scrolling.

I used to keep 30 tabs in Chrome and never read them. Now I open my Kindle on Sunday, read my whole Sunday and close a loop.

PS

Patrícia Souza

Book editor

The 7pm daily edition became my ritual. My daughters see me reading on the Kindle and ask what it is. It’s lovely.

I pay $5 and gain hours of distraction-free reading. Best ROI in quality of life I’ve had.
