Convert PDF to Kindle on Mac via Amazon

The Amazon Kindle is a series of e-readers designed and marketed by Amazon.com. And actually, Kindle can read PDFs, but users can’t get text reflow as they expect. Anyway, you can email the PDF document to your kindle account and Amazon will convert it for you.

  1. Open your Kindle device, go to Settings>My Account, and find your Amazon email address;
  2. Send your PDF that need to be converted to Kindle to this Amazon email address, and you will need to input 'Convert' in the subject line;
  3. Once ready, click 'Send', then find the Kindle file in your Kindle device.

It is indeed a sweet service by Amazon, however, it just let me down when talking about these points:

  1. It takes time, I once sent a few documents with just a few pages to Kindle account, the converted kindle format arrived a hour later;
  2. It does’t work for all PDFs, some just in a mess;
  3. It cannot perform pdf ocr to convert scanned PDF or images to kindle format. If you are an office man who needs to regularly work on scanned PDF documents, it helps nothing.

Using Online PDF to Kindle Converter

ebook online convert is one part of online-cnvert, an online file converter to do conversions on eBooks, Audios, Documents, Images, Videos and others.

  1. Go to ebook.online-convert >Ebook converter, choose the output according to your need;
  2. Click 'Choose Files' to upload your PDF for PDF to Kindle conversion.

  5. Once your PDF is converted into AZW3, you can download the converted file. And you will be able to read PDF on Kindle.

It is quite easy and work fast for small size PDFs. However, for large size PDFs, the uploading speed may drive you crazy. In addition, your PDF will be uploaded and saved by the converter, so, if your file is highly confidential, like your business contract or financial report, the converter is not recommended.

Basic Knowledge: What is Kindle Format?

The proprietary formats:Kindle devices are designed to use Amazon's own e-book formats: AZW, and, in fourth generation and later Kindles, AZW3, also called KF8.

Format supported by Kindle Device:
The first-generation Kindle supports MOBI, PRC,TXT, TPZ and Amazon's AZW format;
The Kindle 2, besides those formats supported by Kindle 1, also support native PDF,AAX and HTML files;
Later versions like 4th /5th / 7th Kindles, Touch, Paperwhite(1st,2nd, 3rd generations), Voyage and Oasis supports AZW, AZW3, TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC. HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP are usable through conversion. The Keyboard and Touch also supports AA, AAX and MP3, the 7th Kindle and all Kindle Paperwhite versions, Voyage, Oasis can also read KFX files.

So, once you understand Kindle covers which formats, we are getting closer to read PDF on Kindle, or put it simply, just convert PDF to the most Kindle-friendly format, TXT, as the same way as Amazon and other PDF Converters do.

Final Words

According to my test on these Three PDF to Kindle format converter for Mac, I highly recommend the Cisdem PDFConverterOCR, for its impressive speed and profession to enable you to read both native and scanned PDFs on Kindle.

We all know that Kindle is using new KFX format into their eBooks, which causes us more difficult to remove drm and convert kfx formats. Though there is a solution that reverting the Kindle for PC/Mac to an older version, but I would say that it’s not available for Mac Catalina users and Big Sur 11.0 users!

And don’t you think that the reverting is so annoying? Kindle releases newest version of kindle app, why should I downgrade it to an older version (less features, less functions)? What’s worse, with the releasing of Kindle desktop version 1.30, Kindle forces us to update the app all the time!

Mac

This blog here I will introduce an exclusive method for you: How to convert Kindle KFX eBooks to EPUB/PDF on Mac Free (with Calibre). This is also an exclusive and effective guide on converting Kindle AZW3 to ePub PDF on Mac in 2020.

(My Environment: Calibre 4.23; DeDRM 6.8; Kindle 1.30; Mac mini M1 Big Sur)

Step1. Delete books via Kindle for Mac.

Launch Kindle for Mac app, Kindle >> Preferences >> Deregister.

The deregistering will delete all your downloaded books from Mac. Then, register it again.

Note:

Ensure 100% successfully drm removing, use Kindle for Mac v1.30 or v1.31 please. The latest version v1.32 will cause the drm removing failure.

Step2. Disallow the KFX format downloading on Mac.

If we could avoid the new kfx format eBooks downloading via Kindle for Mac, we will be able to convert kindle books as before, right? Here comes the solution.

Run the Terminal.app, copy&paste the following code, and enter the password.

If you don’t have password or meet error, then run this command:

Step3. Right-click and Download kindle books.

As we’ve executed the command, now we just need to re-download kindle books.

Importance:

Don’t double-click to download books; Don’t open the book after the downloading completed.

The command we executed in step2 is used to disable the kfx format books downloading. In this step we right-click to download book, and then we will get the old format of Kindle books. But if we double click to download, we will still get the new kfx format books. What’s worse, if we opening the book after the downloading, the latest version of kindle for mac will help us download .kcr format books to replace those books we downloaded.

In other words, if we don’t follow this, all the work we did in Step1 and Step 2 is in vain.

Step4. Remove Kindle DRM with Calibre DeDRM plugin.

Preparation:

Calibre install; Calibr dedrm plugin 7.2.0 add.

More details please read my previous blog on how to add plugins to calibre.

Find your downloaded Kindle books (saved under “My Kindle Content” folder) and import them to Calibre.

See? The added books are shown as AZW3 input format in calibre (it means the newly downloaded books we use command and right-clicking) are azw3 format, not KFX). Select books and click “Convert books”, select ePub or PDF as output, convert.

Job done. It’s not so difficult, right? I converted my kindle files to ePub on my Mac computer(Big Sur), you can also get a free trial of it.

*1. Someone asks me whether this method works on Win10 computer. Yes we also can avoid the KFX downloading via Kindle for PC app with nearly the same steps, but in Step2 what you should do is running the KFX_begone3 command. Download the KFX_begone3.zip, unzip it and start the kindle.cmd.
