Q: Can I use O’Reilly on my Kindle?
A: Most e-readers, including Amazon’s Kindle devices, prevent the installation of third-party applications. Due to the nature of our business, we can only distribute content through our own apps for mobile devices. -- O’Reilly learning platform
Since Kindle eReaders do not natively support O'Reilly eBooks, reading them on a Kindle involves several steps. Here's how you can do it.
1. How to Download O'Reilly eBooks as DRM-Free EPUBs
To remove DRM from O'Reilly eBooks, you'll need specialized software. Epubor OR Converter is an excellent choice for this task, as it can automatically fetch your downloaded O'Reilly eBooks, remove the DRM, and convert them to EPUB files with just one click.
Since O'Reilly eBooks cannot be downloaded directly via a browser or the O'Reilly desktop app, you'll need an Android emulator to download these DRM-protected books. Setting up an Android emulator for the first time might take some time. For your convenience, you can follow our detailed guide to convert your O'Reilly eBooks to DRM-free EPUB format.
2. How to Transfer DRM-Free eBooks to Your Kindle
The Send to Kindle for Web service is a terrific solution, enabling you to send DRM-free ePub files directly to your Kindle library. Here's how to send the DRM-free EPUB version of your O'Reilly eBooks to your Kindle:
Step 1Visit the Send to Kindle Page
Use the same Amazon account credentials you use for your Kindle device or app. This ensures that the files you send will appear in your Kindle library. If you use different credentials, the eBooks won't sync to your device.
Step 2Send DRM-free O'Reilly eBooks to Your Kindle Library
Drag and drop your DRM-free O'Reilly eBooks in EPUB format onto the designated area on the Send to Kindle page. Once your EPUB files are added to the page, click the Send button to initiate the transfer.
After a successful transfer, the status of the book will show as In library on the 'Send to Kindle' page, confirming that it has been added to your Kindle library.
Step 3Read O'Reilly eBooks on Kindle
On your Kindle eReader, go to the home screen where your library is displayed and select the 'Sync' option. After syncing, your newly transferred O'Reilly eBooks will appear in your library. Once the download is complete, you can open the O'Reilly eBooks from your library to start reading.
Important: If you're using a Kindle Fire, you can download and install the O'Reilly app to access your O'Reilly eBooks directly.
