How to Transfer Files From a Google Reader to a Kindle

Your Kindle allows you to read various documents wherever you go. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to transfer Google Reader files directly to the Kindle; you have to first save the Google Reader article as a text file. Once this is done, you'll be able to transfer the files onto your Kindle. While the process is a bit more time consuming than a direct transfer, it's also fairly simple and easy.

Step 1

Load the Google Reader file that you want to transfer to your Kindle.

Step 2

Click "Edit," then "Select All." Click "Edit," then "Copy" to copy all of the text.

Step 3

Launch Notepad or another text editor. Click "Edit," then "Paste" to paste all of the text into your Notepad document. Click "File," then "Save" to save your document as a TXT file.

Step 4

Plug the USB cable into your Kindle, then into your computer.

Step 5

When prompted, click "Open Folder to View Files".

Step 6

Select the TXT file you created, and drag it into one of your Kindle's folders.
