Send to E-Reader

Email any book in your library straight to a Kindle or other e-reader over SMTP.

Configure SMTP once (admin)

Settings → E-Reader Email — host, port, encryption, credentials, and a from address.

Set your e-reader's address (each profile)

Settings → Profile — the email address your e-reader accepts books at (a Kindle’s @kindle.com address, for example).

Send a book

From any book’s menu, choose Send to e-reader — it’s emailed as an .epub attachment.

How it works

  • Sending goes through Nodemailer over the SMTP server configured in Settings → E-Reader Email — an admin-only section, since it’s shared by the whole install
  • Encryption is one of none, STARTTLS (typically port 587), or implicit TLS/SSL (typically port 465)
  • Each profile has its own destination address, set on its own Profile settings page — the same SMTP server can deliver to every reader’s own device
  • The email is sent with the book’s title as the subject and the original .epub as the only attachment
