Does Legimi work on Kindle? Yes, but it requires several steps – synchronization with your computer and a special application. Check how exactly to do it, what the limitations are and whether it is worth choosing this subscription.
Legimi on Kindle – is it possible, how to do it?
Legimi for Kindle is an increasingly popular combination of a native service and a device from an American company, although it is not as simple as in the case of other readers. The Kindle, which is an Amazon product, does not directly support the Legimi mobile app, but you can get around this by using the Legimi app on your computer. Here’s how to do it, what are the limitations and benefits of this solution.
How to use Legimi on Kindle?
The advantage of Legimi is a wide range of e-books, which can be adapted to the reader’s needs thanks to a subscription fee. Kindle users can use it, but it requires installing a special application on your computer and regularly syncing your Kindle with your computer. Despite these additional steps, this solution is popular thanks to access to a wide catalog of titles.
What is synchronization?
Legimi for Kindle differs from traditional Legimi applications on other devices, such as inkBOOK or PocketBook, where the application is available directly on readers. Kindle requires the use of a computer and the Legimi application (macOS/Windows) to transfer ebooks to the reader. This process must be repeated to update the content, and the number of new titles you can download is limited to 7 or 10 depending on the subscription plan you choose.
Step by step: how to configure Legimi on Kindle?
1. Create an account and select a Kindle subscription
Go to the Legimi website and create an account. Then choose one of the available packages that Kindle supports. Currently, Legimi offers several subscription options, which differ in the number of books available monthly and additional functions. For example, in the unlimited package you can download up to 7 e-books per month to Kindle, while in the more extensive package you can download up to 10 titles per month.
2. Download the Legimi application to your computer
To start using Legimi on Kindle, you need to download the Legimi app on your computer (Windows or Mac). It allows you to synchronize the reader with your Legimi account and transfer selected e-books to the device. Downloading the application is free and can be done directly from the Legimi website.
3. Connect your Kindle to your computer
Use a USB cable to connect your Kindle to your computer. Then open the Legimi application and log in to your account. The synchronization process involves transferring e-books from your Legimi account to Kindle, so select the ones you want to download to your device and synchronize. E-books transferred in this way will still be available on your reader.
4. Book downloads and monthly synchronization
Depending on the package you choose, you can add new books to your collection every month. This process should be repeated at least once a month to be able to download additional titles. However, it is worth remembering that you can select a maximum of 7 or 10 new e-books for Kindle each time, which distinguishes this service from applications for other readers.
Advantages of using Legimi on Kindle
- Access to a wide catalog of titles – At Legimi you can find thousands of e-books, including bestsellers, literary classics and many new releases. This is a great solution for those who like to have a large selection of books in one place.
- The convenience of reading on Kindle – Kindle is one of the most popular reading devices thanks to its display quality and ergonomics, which makes it comfortable even when reading for a long time.
Disadvantages of using Legimi on Kindle
- Technical limitations – Kindle does not support the Legimi application directly, so it is necessary to regularly connect the device to the computer, which may be inconvenient for some users.
- Limit on the number of books – You can download a maximum of 7 or 10 books per month, which is a limitation compared to no limit on other devices that support the Legimi application directly.
Alternatives to Kindle
If regularly connecting your device to a computer seems too troublesome, it is worth considering other readers that support Legimi directly. Devices such as inkBOOK or PocketBook offer integration with the Legimi application, which eliminates the need for monthly synchronization.
