Although Amazon offers a number of easy ways to send content to your Kindle, include sending a document by email and Send to Kindle app, loading books onto your Kindle with USB, but that’s just the primary of the steps you can take to find and load content on to your Kindle. When it comes to send rss feeds to Kindle, there is no good methods from Amazon.

So, in this post I want to share how to send Rss feeds to Kindle eReader, such as Kindle Paperwhite or Kindle Voyage, and of course, it works for newest Kindle Oasis. There are three main methods, you can choose the way you like.
