moving books from Dropbox to KindleVoyage?

mark_e_h · 04-01-2018, 10:05 PM

My Calibre library is stored on Dropbox. Works fine when I'm at my PC, using Calibre. These are books not in my Amazon Kindle cloud library.

I can move books from the Dropbox store to my iPad Kindle reader using the app CalibreCompanion. Works fine - I think this would work anywhere on the planet as long as I had network access.

When I'm away from my computer, or it's shut down, how can I move a book from the Dropbox store to my Kindle Voyage?? I tried using the "experimental" browser on the Voyage, but doesn't seem functional with the Dropbox home page.

I will have my iPhone with me, so maybe that's useful.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.... thnx,

.

Email to Kindle will work (but obviously, will add the file to your Kindle cloud library). However, since Dropbox likes to email links instead of actual files, you'd first need to either export the file somewhere else (e.g. iCloud Drive) or use a different app with Dropbox access (e.g. Documents by Readdle) to email the file from.
