Amazon has recently made installing an eBook on your Kindle device or Android/Apple device with the free Kindle app much easier, so in a few sentences I’ll show you exactly how to get your Kindle book into your Kindle reader or Kindle app. Ready?

Step #1: If you’re purchasing the Kindle edition, download your digital book, which will be an epub format.

Step #2: Now just open an Amazon web page you can find with a simple search phrase, “send to Kindle” without the quotes. Or go directly to this link:

Step #3: Upload your book to your Amazon account. Of course, you should already be logged into your Amazon account so it can upload it automatically to your Kindle account. That’s it! Now when you open your Kindle app, you’re book will be there. NOTE: Amazon can take a few minutes or even 10 minutes to get your book uploaded in their system, so you give it a little time.

Voila! You can now read your book on your device or on your computer if you have the Kindle reader installed on your computer. Sometimes it does take Amazon a few minutes to load your book into your account, so if you don’t see it right away, wait 10 minutes.
