Pocket to Kindle is gone: how to get articles onto a Kindle now

For years the easiest way to read web articles on a Kindle was a two-step habit: save to Pocket, then let a small third-party service bundle your Pocket list into a Kindle digest. Both halves of that habit are gone. Pocket itself was shut down by Mozilla in July 2025, its API stopped answering in October 2025, and the Pocket-to-Kindle tools that depended on it stopped with it.

This page covers what those tools did, why none of them can come back in their old form, and the honest set of options for reading saved articles on a Kindle today. Every product claim below was checked on the company's own site this week.

What Pocket-to-Kindle did, and why it stopped

Pocket-to-Kindle services (P2K was the best known) connected to your Pocket account through Pocket's API and delivered what you had saved to your Kindle, typically as a digest of several articles. The appeal was that you kept saving the way you always had, and the Kindle filled itself.

Mozilla's shutdown removed the thing they depended on:

• May 22, 2025: Pocket could no longer be downloaded, and new Pocket Premium subscriptions stopped.
• July 8, 2025: Pocket shut down. Premium subscriptions were cancelled automatically, and annual subscribers were refunded.
• October 8, 2025: Mozilla's announced last day to export saves, and the day the Pocket API stopped reading or writing data. Mozilla kept the export page open a little longer, into November 2025.

With no API, there is nothing for a Pocket-to-Kindle service to connect to. P2K's own address, p2k.app, no longer resolves at all. If you still have your Pocket export, Pocket alternatives lists the apps that can import it; the options below are about what happens from here on.

Option 1: Amazon's own Send to Kindle

Amazon's Send to Kindle is the free route, and the one most people searching for "Pocket app Kindle" never tried. It is not a reading list: you send each thing you want, and it appears in your Kindle library. Amazon offers it in several forms:

• Send to Kindle for Web. Sign in at amazon.com/sendtokindle and upload a file. Supported types include PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, HTM, HTML, PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP and EPUB, up to 200 MB. Turn on Add to your library so the document reaches every device on your account.
• The Send to Kindle browser extension. Amazon's official extension for Google Chrome sends articles, blog posts and other web pages to your Kindle. It can send the full page with one click, preview how the page will look on a Kindle, send only the text you have selected, and edit the title and author before sending. Amazon lists a Chrome extension only; it does not list one for Firefox or Safari.
• Email. Every Kindle device and app on your account has its own Send to Kindle email address. Attach a document and send it from an address on your Approved Personal Document Email List. One email can carry up to 25 attachments and 50 MB in total, and you can approve up to 15 sending addresses. Delivery is attempted for up to 60 days, as long as the Kindle is online.
• The Kindle app on iOS and Android. Share a document to the free Kindle app and it goes to your library.
• Send to Kindle apps for Mac and Windows.

Two cautions. First, web pages go through Amazon's conversion, and Amazon's own error list includes a "web extraction error" for pages that are empty, protected or hold incompatible elements; a subscriber-only article you are not signed in to will not come through. Second, there is no scheduling. If what you liked about Pocket-to-Kindle was the automatic digest, you want one of the apps below.

Option 2: Instapaper, the closest match to Pocket-to-Kindle

Instapaper, the read-it-later app that also runs on Kobo and Boox e-readers, has had Kindle delivery for a long time, and it works the way P2K did: your unread articles go to the Kindle as a digest on a daily or weekly schedule, with no action on your part.

The catch is that Kindle delivery is part of Instapaper Premium, the paid plan. The free plan lets you save and read without limit, but Instapaper's feature table lists "Kindle integration" under Premium only, and its Kindle documentation marks both scheduled and on-demand digests as Premium features. On Android, sending an individual article to a Kindle also needs Premium.

Setup is two email addresses swapped between Instapaper and Amazon, plus a schedule. How to send Instapaper articles to your Kindle walks through every step, the Amazon approved-sender list, and what to check when nothing arrives.

Option 3: Readwise Reader

Readwise Reader is a reading app for people who highlight, and it includes Kindle delivery. Once you add your Kindle email on Reader's Integrations page and approve Reader's sending address on Amazon's side, you can turn on Automatic Delivery for a daily or weekly digest of documents newly added to your Library. It covers what arrived in the previous day or week, not a backlog you already had, and it leaves out Feed items, so send older documents one at a time. Readwise says digests go out at midnight Eastern time, weekly digests on Fridays, and nothing is sent when there is nothing new. You can also send a single document from its actions menu. Reader is paid after a free 30-day trial.

Matter

Matter, a reading app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and the web, lists "Send any article to Kindle" among its features and includes Send to Kindle in Matter Premium, its paid tier. There is no Android app listed.

Omnivore

Omnivore, the open-source read-it-later app that some Pocket refugees moved to in 2024, is no longer a service. Its project page states that the cloud application was deprecated in November 2024 and that Omnivore is now self-hosted only, and the omnivore.app domain is currently listed for sale by a third party. Do not sign up for anything at that address.

Which route fits you

What you want	Use
Occasional articles, no subscription	Amazon's Send to Kindle extension or email

A different idea: skip the screen

The Kindle solved one problem, reading on a screen that does not buzz. The articles still have to be sent, converted and found in a library. If what you really want is to read your saved articles away from every device, there is a plainer option: Offprint takes the links you text it, whenever you find something worth reading, and your saves become a printed magazine mailed to your door. It does not import Pocket exports, so it is a fresh start rather than a migration; it is simply the paper version of the Pocket-to-Kindle idea. For one article on paper today, see How to print an article without ads.

Common questions

Can I still send my Pocket saves to a Kindle?

Not through Pocket. If you exported before the deadline, import the export into Instapaper or Readwise Reader (both can take a Pocket export) and use their Kindle delivery from there.

Is Amazon's Send to Kindle free?

Amazon describes the Send to Kindle service as available at no additional cost to Kindle devices and Kindle apps. It is for personal, non-commercial use, and Amazon warns that sending very large numbers of emails from one address triggers a throttle warning.

Does Send to Kindle make a daily digest?

No. It sends what you send, when you send it. Scheduled digests are an Instapaper Premium or Readwise Reader feature.

Why did a web page I sent to Kindle never show up?

Check that the sending address is on your Approved Personal Document Email List, that the Kindle is online, and that the page was not empty or protected when you sent it. Amazon's troubleshooting page lists the error codes it emails back, including one for unapproved senders and one for web extraction failures.
