Save to Kindle App Troubleshooting Tips

Did you download the ebook file using the BookFunnel app? To check, open your Downloads folder and look for a folder inside of it called “BookFunnel”. Any ebooks downloaded with the BookFunnel app will be inside the BookFunnel download folder.

If the book is not in the BookFunnel download folder:

  1. Open the BookFunnel app
  2. Tap Library at the bottom of the screen
  3. Tap the book cover
  4. Tap Send to another App
  5. Tap Save to Kindle App

That will download the Kindle file and save it in the BookFunnel download folder so that your Kindle app can import it.

Did you enable local file access in the Kindle app? If you aren’t sure, check our quick tutorial here!

If you followed the steps to enable local file access in the Kindle app and you saved the book in your BookFunnel download folder, your Kindle app should automatically import the book. You can pull down on the home screen of your Kindle to refresh the app.

If that doesn’t add the book, here’s a quick tip to get the Kindle app rescan the BookFunnel download folder!

  1. Tap the Recents button at the bottom of your Android screen. Your Recents button may not look exactly like the one in our screenshot, but it will always be next to your home button if you swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
  2. Swipe up on the Kindle app to force-quit the app.
  3. When you open the Kindle app again, it should rescan for new files to import.

Save to Kindle App will save the Kindle file in your local Kindle app folder only. It will not sync to other Kindle apps or devices.

To sync with other Kindle(s), you can use Send To Kindle in the BookFunnel app.

To Send to Kindle:

  1. Open the BookFunnel app
  2. Tap Library at the bottom of the screen
  3. Tap the book cover
  4. Tap Send to Another App
  5. Tap Send to Kindle
  6. The BookFunnel app will download the Kindle file and open Send to Kindle
  7. When Send to Kindle opens, tap the orange SEND button.

Amazon will upload the book to your Kindle account and should add it to your Kindle app within a few minutes. If Send to Kindle is  backlogged, a book can take several hours to deliver.
