Short answer: for a single article and a Kindle, Amazon's own Send to Kindle extension delivers the page you're on. For several articles, an e-reader that isn't a Kindle, or a file you keep, collect the pages into one EPUB with a chapter per article and put that on your reader. The Convert2EPUB extension does that in your browser, free, with no account.
Why move articles off the browser at all
A long article in a browser tab competes with every other tab, notification, and ad. An e-reader is built for long reading: it's easier on the eyes for an hour at a stretch, it works offline, and the font size is yours. The hard part is getting the article there with its text and images but without the site's menus, cookie banners, and sidebars. Each route below handles that differently.
Your options, and what each is good for
One article to a Kindle: Amazon's Send to Kindle extension
Amazon's Chrome extension sends the page you're on to your Kindle library, with a preview first if you want one. For a single article on a Kindle, it's the quickest route there is. Each article arrives as its own document, though, so ten articles mean ten separate items in your library, and it only delivers to Kindle devices and apps.
A read-later service your e-reader syncs with
Mozilla shut Pocket down on 8 July 2025, which also ended the Pocket integration that Kobo e-readers had built in. Kobo has since added Instapaper in its place, so on a recent Kobo, articles you save to Instapaper show up on the device. This suits a steady stream of articles you read once and move on from. It needs an Instapaper account, and the articles live in that service rather than in a file of your own.
Save the page and convert it
Every desktop browser can save a page as an .html file (File → Save Page
As). Upload that file to the HTML to EPUB converter and
you get a reflowable EPUB, with the page's own headings as its table of contents. It
works well for one long page, such as a guide or an essay, and gets slow when there
are ten of them.
Many pages as one book: the Convert2EPUB extension
The extension keeps a reading list as you browse. Add pages over a few days, put them in order, and save the whole list as one EPUB, a chapter per page, with the articles' images and a cover. The result opens on any reader that takes EPUB, and reaches a Kindle through Send to Kindle. It's the route for anything that reads better as a book than as a pile of links: a multi-part series, a set of documentation pages, or a week of saved articles for the weekend.
Side by side
| Route | Works with | Several articles | Account | What you end up with |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Send to Kindle extension | Kindle only | One document per article | Amazon | Items in your Kindle library |
| Instapaper on a Kobo | Kobo and Instapaper's apps | Yes, as separate articles | Instapaper | A synced list, kept in the service |
| Save page, then HTML to EPUB | Any EPUB reader | One page per conversion | None | An EPUB file per page |
| Convert2EPUB extension | Any EPUB reader, Kindle via Send to Kindle | Yes, one book with a chapter each | None | One EPUB file you keep |
Step by step: turn a reading list into one EPUB
- Add the Convert2EPUB extension to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store.
- On an article you want to keep, click the toolbar icon and choose Add this page, or right-click the page and choose Add page to ePub book.
- Keep adding pages as you find them. The list stays put between browser sessions, so it can grow over a week.
- Open the extension, drag the pages into reading order, remove anything you added by mistake, and give the book a title. Leave the title blank and the book uses the first page's title.
-
Click Save as EPUB. The first time, Chrome asks for permission to
fetch the articles' images. Allow it and they're embedded in the book; decline and
the book is built without them. The
.epubfile lands in your downloads.
Getting the EPUB onto your reader
- Kindle: send the EPUB with Amazon's Send to Kindle, through its web page, its app, or by email to your Kindle address. Amazon converts it on the way and it appears in your library. Copying over a USB cable needs AZW3 instead, which the EPUB to Kindle converter makes for free.
- Kobo: connect it with a USB cable and copy the EPUB onto the device. Kobo reads EPUB natively, so there's nothing to convert.
- Phone or tablet: open the file in Apple Books or any EPUB reading app.
- Other e-readers, such as PocketBook or Boox: EPUB is their native format too. Copy it over USB.
What comes across, and what to check
Each page becomes a chapter with its text, headings, links, and images, and the text reflows to whatever size you set on the reader. The book's cover comes from the first page's preview image, the one a site shows when the page is shared, if it has one.
The extension reads the page as it's shown in your tab rather than downloading a fresh copy. That means a page you can read because you're signed in comes across the same way. It also means a page that loads more of the article as you scroll, or behind a "Continue reading" button, should be opened fully before you add it.
It picks out each page's main content, so most menus, sidebars, and footers are left behind. On an unusually built page, some clutter may come along or part of the article may be missed, so skim each chapter once. Anything that needs the web to work, such as an embedded video or an interactive chart, can't play inside an ebook; check the original page for those.
Nothing you read leaves your browser
The extension has no server to send anything to. It reads a page only when you add it, keeps the queue in your browser's own storage, builds the EPUB on your device, and clears the stored pages once the book is saved. There's no account and no analytics.
Frequently asked
Can I send web articles to a Kindle?
Yes. Amazon's Send to Kindle extension for Chrome sends the page you're on, one article at a time. To send several articles as one book, save them as a single EPUB with the Convert2EPUB extension and send that file with Send to Kindle.
How do I read web articles on a Kobo now that Pocket has shut down?
Recent Kobo firmware syncs with Instapaper in place of Pocket, so articles saved there appear on the device. Without an account, you can collect articles into an EPUB and copy it to the Kobo over USB.
Is the Convert2EPUB extension free?
Yes. It's free in the Chrome Web Store, needs no account, and builds the EPUB in your browser, so the pages you add are never uploaded.
Do the articles' images come across?
Yes, if you allow the optional image permission the first time you save a book. Images are then embedded in the EPUB. If you decline, the book is still built, without the images.
Turn your open tabs into a book. Free, no account, nothing uploaded.
