Can I read my books on a Kindle, iPad or phone?

Formats and Compatibility  ›  Device Compatibility

iPad and iPhone

Yes. Open the download link in Safari, then choose to open the file in the Books app to keep it on your device.

Android phones and tablets

Yes. The file saves to your Downloads folder and opens in Google Drive's PDF viewer or the Adobe Acrobat Reader app.

Kindle

Yes, with one extra step. Kindle devices do not download directly from a web link, so:

  1. Download the file to a computer or phone first.
  2. Send it to your Kindle using Send to Kindle, or connect the Kindle by USB and copy the file into its documents folder.

PDFs display on Kindle but the text does not reflow like a native Kindle book, so on smaller Kindle screens you may need to zoom. Larger-screen Kindles handle PDFs comfortably.

Desktop

Yes — any modern browser opens the file directly.
