Chrome extension to push web articles to your Kindle
by Volker Weber
Send to Kindle is a Browser extension for Kindle owners who prefer reading web content on their devices. It’s designed to offer a quick way for pushing web content to Kindle, so you can read articles or news later on your device.
I use this all the time for 'tl;dr' stories.
Also available for Safari, Firefox, Opera, IE9: http://www.klip.me/

I was all excited and then I read that it only works for Kindle 3 via 3G. I have that Kindle, but I've been using the Kindle Touch instead lately because it's lighter & smaller. I was thinking about selling or gifting the K3.
Well, it works with all Kindles over Wifi. It just sends the page to amyskindleaddress@free.kindle.com after conversion.
@free.kindle.com: Works only with the Kindle 3, and only send over the Wi-Fi network.
The free.kindle.com option will not incur any data usage charges from Amazon.
If you have an earlier version of the Kindle, you'll receive the emails but the "Send to Kindle" documents will not be delivered to your Kindle.
@kindle.com: Works with all Kindle models over 3G and Wi-Fi.
Which will incur charges for 3G delivery by Amazon.
Thanks, I did not know that. I send my files to my K3 over Wifi and was assuming that would be the same with other Wifi-Kindles. I stand corrected.
Yes, that says what you just told me. I am easily confused sometimes. Feel free to ignore me.
Happy sphere!
So @free.kindle.com works on your Kindle Touch as well?
Using Instapaper to do the same - storing and sending Websites for later reading to my Kindle. What is the benefit of Klip over it?
There is now also a printer driver available, so that you can print pages directly to your Kindle - SendToKindle.
Unfortunately all documents, even simple plain text files, are sent as PDF documents to my Kindle (keyboard). So this is less then optimal.
I like Klip better than Instapaper because there`s a delay in Instapaper till the document is actually sent, plus Instapaper sends a collection of several documents put together to one document whereas Klip sends single documents - this will produce more clutter on the Kindle but I already anyway have to many unread documents on my Kindle.
Thanks Adalbert. Will stay with Instapaper though. Actually I like the format, the delay is no issue for me. And having even more articles would clutter my Kindle even more...
