Send manga to your e-reader without a cable
Your converted volume does not have to travel by USB. Every account here carries a permanent 6 digit code, and typing it into your e-reader’s own web browser opens your shelf: the files you finished on the computer, listed and ready to download straight onto the device. Nothing to install on the reader, no account to create on it, no email address in the loop.

This works best on a Kobo or a Boox, whose browsers download files properly. Kindle is the honest exception and this page treats it as one: the stock Experimental Browser usually refuses downloads outright, so Kindle owners are better served converting here and delivering with Amazon’s own Send to Kindle. The shelf is still there as somewhere to fetch the file from, but we are not going to promise you a browser download your Kindle will not perform.

How the wireless handoff works
Convert on your computer, then send to your shelf
Run the conversion as usual with your device profile. On a finished file, choose To e-reader. That stages it on your account’s shelf, which holds the last 10 files you sent.
Open the browser on your reader
On a Kobo: Settings, then Beta features, then Web browser. On a Boox or another Android reader: the browser it already ships with. On a Kindle: the three dot menu, then Experimental Browser, with the caveat below.
Type your 6 digit code
Go to the shelf page on the reader and enter the code. Your shelf appears with every staged file. The code is permanent, so this is the only time you type it: bookmark the page and next time it is two taps.
Tap Download on the file you want
The file lands in the reader’s own storage and appears in your library. Files stay on the shelf for 24 hours, then clear themselves.
The reader’s browser is doing the download, not an app
There is nothing to install on the e-reader and nothing to pair over Bluetooth. The shelf is an ordinary web page built to be legible on e-ink, which is why it works on devices that will never have an app.
Most people here are converting for a specific device
Over a recent fourteen day window, 67.5% of people picked a named e-reader preset rather than a bare output format, and 25.2% picked format only. The file was already built for a particular screen, so it makes sense to put it on that screen without a detour through a computer.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work on a Kindle?
Partly, and we would rather say so than sell you a disappointment. Kindle’s Experimental Browser generally refuses to download files it does not recognise, so the browser route that works cleanly on a Kobo often will not complete on a Kindle. If yours refuses, convert here and send the EPUB through Amazon’s Send to Kindle, or copy it across with a USB cable. Both work reliably.
Which readers does the browser route actually work on?
Kobo, where the browser lives under Settings, then Beta features, then Web browser, and Boox and other Android e-ink readers, which ship a normal browser. Anything with a working browser that can save a file can open a shelf.
Is the code permanent, and what if someone else sees it?
It is permanent until you replace it. You can generate a new one at any time, which immediately stops the old one working, so any reader still holding it needs the new code. Files already on your shelf stay where they are.
How long do files stay available?
Twenty four hours, the same lifetime as every converted file here. The shelf holds the last 10 files you sent, so a long batch keeps the most recent ones.
How is this different from send2ereader?
send2ereader is a good tool and it got to the pairing code idea first. The difference is what travels: it is a transport, so a CBZ arrives on the device as the same CBZ. Here the file has already been rebuilt by KCC for your reader’s exact screen before it reaches the shelf, so what you download is a volume built for the device rather than a copy of the archive.
Do I need an account?
Yes, for this route. The code identifies your shelf, so sending a file requires being signed in, exactly as downloading one does. Converting itself does not.
Conversion runs on Kindle Comic Converter (KCC), the open-source engine, before anything reaches your shelf. The wireless handoff is a delivery step after that pipeline, which is why the file that arrives is already built for your device rather than a passed-through archive.
Free, no install on the device, files clear after 24 hours
