Send to Kindle Bookmarklet

Bookmarklet to send any web page to Kindle E-Reader in just ONE click!

First we need to create a public endpoint that'll do all the tasks of converting to pdf and sending to Kindle device. We'll use Webtask from auth0 to create serverless endpoints.

Requirements:

1. Get API Key from pdflayer.com/. It'll be used to convert html to pdf.

2. Get your kindle.com email address: www.amazon.com/gp/sendtokindle/email

3. Prepare SMTP connection url for your APPROVED email which will be used to send emails to your kindle.com address. For Gmail with 2FA enabled, you can generate App password.

example SMTP configuration value:

smtps://user%40gmail.com:password@smtp.gmail.com

More about SMTP Connection url: nodemailer.com/smtp/

Deployment

1. Setup Webtask cli tool: github.com/auth0/wt-cli

npm install -g wt-cli
wt init

2. Clone this repo:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hassansin/send-to-kindle.git

3. Deploy

export PDFLAYER_APIKEY=YOUR_PDFLAYER_APIKEY
export SMTP_CONFIG=YOUR_SMTP_CONNECTION_URI
export KINDLE_ADDRESS=YOUR_KINDLE_ADDRESS
npm run deploy

4. Grab the webtask url from the output and run following to genereate the bookmarklet:
