The Complete Guide: Read Substack Newsletters on Kindle
Substack has revolutionized newsletter publishing, but reading long-form articles in a crowded email inbox is not the best experience. Kindle's e-ink display is far easier on the eyes for extended reading sessions, and the distraction-free environment helps you actually finish articles instead of skimming them. Here's how to get Substack newsletters delivered to your Kindle automatically, so they're waiting for you whenever you pick up your device.

Step 1: Sign up for InboxToKindle
Create a free account at InboxToKindle. You'll get a unique email address for receiving newsletters.
Step 2: Add your Kindle device
Go to your Kindle settings and add your Kindle email address. Don't forget to approve our sender emails in your Amazon account.
Step 3: Subscribe to Substack newsletters
When subscribing to any Substack newsletter, use your InboxToKindle email address instead of your personal email.

Newsletters will automatically arrive on your Kindle as beautifully formatted EPUBs within minutes of publication.
