Amazon ‘Send to Kindle’ Function Now Available for WordPress
I already have add-ons for my browsers that do this (purely for testing purposes honestly,) and I’m not sure that I want a button on my blog that only sends to a single platform, however…
The “Send to Kindle” program has official extensions for Google Chrome and other popular web browsers. It allows users to flag articles and any written content on the internet directly to their e-reader. This is very useful for offline reading, when you are not in a WIFI area or outside of a coverage area. Students, researchers, and avid online website readers all love this feature and use it regularly. Amazon basically introduced this plugin to combat the forces of Instapaper and other services.
