How to Download Your Book to Your Kindle or E-Reader

You just bought a book — now what? After you complete your purchase, you'll receive an email from help@bookfunnel.com with a link to download your book. Click that link, and BookFunnel will walk you through getting the book onto whatever device you use to read.

Here's a quick overview so you know what to expect.

Step 1: Open the Email and Click Your Link

After checkout, check your inbox for an email from BookFunnel. If you don't see it, check your spam or promotions folder. Click the link inside — it will take you to a download page where you choose how you'd like to read.

Can't find the email? You can always access your books by logging in at my.bookfunnel.com with the email address you used at checkout.

Step 2: Choose Your Device

On the download page, click the "Get My Book" button (or similar). A window will pop up asking you to choose your device. Pick the one you use, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Kindle (E-Reader or App)

BookFunnel will walk you through Amazon's Send to Kindle process. The easiest method is uploading the file directly through your browser — just log into your Amazon account and upload the book file. It will appear in your Kindle library as a personal document within a few minutes.

You can also use the BookFunnel app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device to send the book to your Kindle library with a couple of taps.

Kobo

Choose the Kobo option on the download page. You can download the EPUB file and either import it through the Kobo app on your phone or tablet, or transfer it to your Kobo e-reader via USB cable by copying the file into the Books folder.

Nook

Select Nook on the download page. For Nook e-readers, download the EPUB and transfer via USB to the "Books" or "My Files" folder. For the Nook app, you can enable sideloading in settings and import the file directly.

Apple Books

On an iPhone or iPad, open your BookFunnel link in Safari, tap "Download EPUB," and choose "Open in Apple Books." On a Mac, double-click the downloaded EPUB file and it will open directly in Apple Books.

Google Play Books

Download the EPUB file, then go to play.google.com/books, click "Upload files," and select your book. It will sync to the Play Books app on all your devices.

Step 3: Start Reading

Once the book is on your device, you're all set. It will stay in your library just like any other book you own.

Other Ways to Read

You don't have to use an e-reader at all. BookFunnel gives you two other options right from the download page:

  • Read in your browser — Click "Read in Browser" and start reading immediately. No downloads, no apps, nothing to install.
  • The BookFunnel App — Available for iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire tablets. It's free, has no ads, and makes downloading books fast and simple.

You can also access all your BookFunnel books anytime by visiting my.bookfunnel.com.

Need Help?

Every BookFunnel download page has a "Need Help?" button at the top. Tap it and you'll be connected to BookFunnel's support team — they're fast, friendly, and will get you reading in no time.
