Hi there!
It’s great to meet you 🥰
My name is Maneetpaul Singh, but my friends call me Maneet (pronounced muh-neet). I'm a bookworm from Connecticut who loves tech. When I bought my first e-reader in 2020, I began reading more than I ever had before. I’ve made it my mission to help people fall in love with reading through Book Tech.
Think of me like the MKBHD of books.
There are three things I want you to know.
(1) If you'd like to read a new nonfiction book with me every month, join my book club with a community of 1,000+ bookworms: go.maneetpaul.com/book-club
(2) If you’re struggling to build a daily reading habit and want to know how I became a bookworm, check out my short book titled Just One More Chapter: geni.us/GQX7rKe
(3) If you just want to chat, email me anytime [e-mail]. I personally respond to every email.
Thanks so much for being here.
Happy reading!

If you are here and send epub to your kindle and send to kindle failed to send your file to your kindle, convert epub to Mobi and from Mobi to epub and send it again. It works. I don't know why, but it works. You are welcome.

[@Nari_D]

You're an angel! It worked!! I've had these books for so long could never transfer them till now! Thank you!! It's so annoying that we have to do this though😑😔

[@farzadjahanfard]

@@Nari_D i am Glad 🙏❤️

You’re a star mate, I was struggling to send/upload several books to my kindle via email and It was starting to get tedious, thank you for this

[@LearningandTechnology]

Excellent video! I had planned to let my own audience know about the new way of doing this - but I just told them to watch THIS video! The new way is SO much easier.

[@rahkkas]

This is a great resource, seamless and quick ! Thank you for sharing.

[@MarianGermaineMaeBGerolao]

Thank you so much! I have been struggling for the past few hours and I randomly stumbled on your video! Best thing that ever happened!

[@Greg29]

Thank you so much for uploading this video, I just bought a 17 book bundle on Humble Bundle and the instructions for getting them onto a Kindle seemed so complex and convoluted, this is WAY easier 👍👍

[@sajibchowdhury4259]

Thank you, it saved me a lot of trouble. Great work indeed.

[@qriouscode]

Thank you Maneet, this is really helpful!!

[@Ali-gv1yw]

Oh thank you a lot! Didnt know there was a 'Send to kindle' website! I used the e-mail method, i.e. sending files on to my kindle mail adress which converter them automaticly.

[@Zephulastar]

Thanks Mr. Singh! I didn't know about that. Awesome. This is the very easiest. No more device email address to remember!

Shocked that nobody has commented about the llama with reading glasses on my sweater 😂

[@neilwick5219]

I was too distracted with the blue and green sweater having red sleeves to notice the llama with reading glasses, but now that you mention it, it couldn't be more appropriate.

Your great sweater was the first thing I noticed! 😁

Hello Brother..I have a Question go you and I'd really Glad if you could Answer it. In The Year 2021 and 2022 I bought lots of Physical Book's and Never really looked into this Kindle Tablets and all..Now That I feel Interested in and I have So many EPUB Book's I Added to My Google Play Book's..They work Just fine.. Now I'm planning to Buy this Kindle Tablet and I'm really thinking about some Money Saving.. Are these Epub Book's that I download from Z Library and Lib..Would they work fine Just as those Amazon Book's on Kindle Device.. Because that would be a Life saver..I don't want My Device to be Messed up or Chances of any Virus or malfunction to it if I do that..

Thank you Maneetpaul Singh...your message was very helpfull.... finally after 3 or 4 years bought a New Kindle and really wanted an easier way to get my .pdf files on it....perfect!. NOTE: Of the two types to Upload - PDF or Micro Word Files -- Word is better you have more control over Font size and position when using Kindle...I tried both - thanks again!

[@monochromios]

Hey mate! Thank you for your heads up. Kindle team suggested me to use email sending but having more than 1000 epub it was driving me crazy. New to kindle and your hint really gelped me. Thank uou ever so much

[@spocksvulcanbrain]

It would be very helpful if you went over the best way to format the file before you make the PDF. I get the fact that sending it over is now easy but sounds like the formatting should be reviewed closely first. Can you create a video about that? Exactly what formatting is optimal? How about the table of contents, Title pages, graphics/artwork and book cover? How are those done?

[@Maneetpaul]

I haven't experimented with this too much myself. But from what I can tell, having a TOC and other front matter is not a problem. Where things got a bit weird for me was when I added a header/footer to every page. Thanks for the video idea, I'll keep that in mind for the future!

There are times when my kindle cannot connect to wifi so the "Send to kindle" feature would not work so I was wondering if anyone knew how I could achieve this now? Thank you!

Does this method work with a language that’s not officially supported by kindle (i’m trying to read in arabic but the text appeared from left to right)

[@johncocksmith2693]

This does not work for me. I keep getting emails saying "A document sent by you ... could not be delivered."

[@usmanalam23]

The only issue with this method, and indeed using Calibre, is that any notes and highlights won’t show up in my Kindle notebook page and therefore are not reflected in Readwise. If anyone knows of a solution to this I would be eternally grateful

[@Maneetpaul]

Yeah, only highlights from books purchased from Amazon appear in Readwise. It's annoying! With that being said, they do offer a way to import the clippings file from your Kindle, which should contain all the highlights.

[@sergiumorar7]

I have to test this method next time I read a PDF. And I have a question. Do you know any day with kindle discount, besides the prime days? Last year on prime days I brought a Kindle for my dad and now I also want one but I don’t wanna wait until prime days this year..

[@Maneetpaul]

They have sales randomly during the year! But the best sales are on Prime Day and Black Friday.

@@Maneetpaul Thanks for the answer!

[@Guallow]

Does this mean that if you buy a book, an EPub file from a webside, that you now can read it on a kindle without problems. I’m new to the whole ereader world and thought about buying a kindle paperwhite but then heard that you couldn’t read any other books than the ones kindle offer on their bookstore… Isn’t that the case anymore?

[@laurahicks5083]

It’s my understanding that kindle doesn’t support epubs with DRM. If it’s an epub without DRM, it should work. I’d assume many EPUBs you bought would have some sort of DRM on them though. In that case, you’d have to use adobe digital editions to transfer them onto an ereader. Adobe digital editions isn’t compatible with kindle devices. For what it’s worth, I think a kobo would be the best device in that case.
