Storytel is an ebook subscription service that provides a great way to discover new titles in different languages. However, you can only stream Storytel ebooks in the iOS or Android app of Storytel. If you have a Kindle eReader, is it possible to read Storytel ebooks on Kindle? The answer is definitely yes. Below, we're going to show you a perfect solution to make it!
Why is it difficult to read Storytel ebooks on Kindle?
There are many incompatible things between Storytel and Kindle, these make it difficult to read Storytel ebooks on the Kindle eReader.
(1) Device and platform issue
First, you need to figure out that Storytel is an application only available for mobile devices, such as iOS or Android smartphones. However, the Kindle does not support any apps. It is designed primarily for reading e-books. Unlike tablets or smartphones, Kindle prefers to maintain a distraction-free reading environment without interruptions that come with other apps.
(2) Difficult to save Storytel ebook files locally
Storytel is a subscription-based platform for online streaming and reading content within their app. If you are a subscriber to Storytel, you can use their mobile app to download the e-books and read them within the app itself. However, you're not able to get the ebook files to your local computer even if you use the web browser to visit the Storytel website.
(3) Format incompatibility and DRM restrictions
Kindle uses its own proprietary format for e-books, such as AZW, AZW3, KFX, MOBI, and so on. As for Storytel e-books, they are typically in EPUB format. On the other hand, both Kindle and Storytel have their own DRM systems. This means that e-books purchased or obtained from a third-party platform like Storytel, which uses a different DRM system, cannot be directly read on Kindle devices or apps.
How to read Storytel books on Kindle in two steps?
