How to guide: Send books from Netgalley directly to your Kindle

In a nutshell:

  1. Add your @kindle.com to Netgalley’s website
  2. Add Netgalley to allowed 3rd party books to send to your Kindle

Below is the way to complete both of these steps!

To locate your @kindle.com address:

  • Locate this in the “My account” section of your kindle.
  • This is NOT the same as your Amazon email log in.

You can find it in your Amazon.com account as well by following these instructions:

  1. While signed into your Amazon account. Search for “Your content and devices.” I typically just search for it where you would normally shop at. But it can be found within your settings where it lists the devices attached to your account.
  2. Click “Preferences” which should be the 3rd one in.
  3. Then click “Personal Document Settings.” You will see your @kindle.com email address that you set up.

To add this @kindle.com to your Netgalley account:

  1. Log into your Netgalley account.
  2. Click on your name at the top right hand of the screen. Same line as it has Netgalley’s logo. Basically, go into your personal settings.
  3. Then click “reading preferences” to the left and under the heading “Profile.”
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page. The title will say “Get ready to read,” you can add you  @kindle.com address.

Next you need to add Netgalley to allow them to send the books. This has to be completed before any books will be allowed to send from a 3rd party site.

  1. Log into Amazon
  2. While signed into your Amazon account. Search for “Your content and devices.” I typically just search for it where you would normally shop at. But it can be found within your settings where it lists the devices attached to your account.
  3. Click “Preferences” which should be the 3rd one in.
  4. Then click “Personal Document Settings.”
  5. You will then locate “Approved Personal Document Email List.” You will need to add this email address to this list.
    Kindle@ netgalley.com if you are using Edeilweiss you will do kindle@ abovethetreeline.com

Now when you go back to the book. You can click right where it says “send to Kindle.” Ensure that your Kindle is on your wifi, and within a few minutes, you should be good to go.

Congrats! You will have success with loading books to your Kindle now!
