Here's your clear guide to how to read Kindle books across the devices you already own, from Viwoods paper tablets with calm e-ink to a tablet with the Kindle app, so you spend less time fiddling and more time reading, enjoy comfortable sessions wherever you are, keep your library close, and start your next chapter right now.
How to Read Kindle Books on Viwoods?
Confirm the Kindle app and sign in
On Viwoods paper tablets, the Kindle app is pre-installed, so open it from the app list, sign in with the Amazon account that owns your books, complete any two-step prompt if it appears, and let the library populate for a moment until your recent titles and collections show up. If something you expect is missing, pull to refresh and try a title or author search, then tap the download icon on the books you plan to read soon so they're cached for fully offline sessions on trains, planes, or anywhere the signal drops.
Set up the reading view for e-ink
Open a book and bring up the reading controls, then pick a font that renders cleanly on e-ink and raise the size until your eyes land at the start of each line without effort, add a little weight if strokes look faint, and nudge the margins wider so the text block sits balanced and easy to track from line to line. Turn off page-turn effects so each tap produces a simple, immediate change, and enable a periodic Page Refresh when you notice after-images because a deliberate refresh clears ghosting and keeps contrast steady while your reading rhythm stays intact.
Use the front light only where it exists
AiPaper Mini includes a cold front light with manual brightness from zero to twenty that you can nudge up just enough to light the surface evenly in dim rooms. In contrast, AiPaper has no front light and is intended for ambient lighting like a paper book, so place a soft desk lamp to the side or read near daylight to keep the e-ink clear and glare-free
Capture context with Picking, without touching the book
When a passage deserves extra thinking, keep reading inside Kindle for highlights and bookmarks, then open Picking to work from the original screen content: use Crop to grab the visible excerpt as an image card, use Annotate to circle a term or add a short handwritten cue that jogs memory later, and use Record to add a summary or question while the idea is fresh, so you preserve the clean Kindle file and still collect the excerpt, handwriting, and note you need for review.
Keep your library available offline
From the Library view, long-press any title you plan to read on a plane or away from Wi-Fi and choose 'Download.' Then, confirm that a small checkmark appears, indicating the file is cached. When you return online, the app will sync your furthest page and your bookmarks automatically through Whispersync, which means you can continue on a phone or on a tablet with the Kindle app during the day and pick up on Viwoods in the evening without hunting for location numbers.
Read personal documents the right way
To read your own PDFs or EPUBs in Kindle, email them to your Send to Kindle address from an approved sender, then choose the format that fits your goal, using PDF when fixed layout matters and EPUB when you want reflowable text that adapts to your font settings. When you need true handwriting, stamps, and an export you can file or share, open the same document in the native Viwoods Leaning where the stylus writes as ink on its own layer, and you can save a marked-up copy.
A simple flow to repeat every week
Sign in once, download a small queue of upcoming reads for offline access, then set the font, size, weight, margins, and refresh cadence to suit your eyes, create a Today or This Week collection so choosing the next chapter takes seconds, and run the Picking flow by capturing one telling paragraph as a crop, adding a quick handwritten cue, and writing a short note with Record. Repeat this cycle, and your Viwoods paper tablet becomes a steady home for Kindle reading, where the page stays calm, your notes stay organized, and your thinking compounds over time.
FAQs:
Q1: Can I read a Kindle book without a Kindle?
Yes. Kindle books are tied to your Amazon account, so you can read them in the Kindle app on your phone or tablet, or in Kindle Cloud Reader in a browser. If you prefer an e-ink screen experience, open the preinstalled Kindle app on a Viwoods paper tablet, and you will see the same library.
Q2: What devices can I read my Kindle books on?
You can read on e-ink e-readers for the most paper-like experience, on iPhone or iPad with the Kindle app, on an android tablet with Kindle app, on Windows or macOS using Kindle for PC or Mac, and in a browser with Kindle Cloud Reader, and all of these routes sign in to the same library so your position and highlights follow you when you switch between devices.
Q3: What file types are readable on Kindle?
Kindle reads books you purchase from Amazon, and it also accepts personal documents sent through Send to Kindle, which supports EPUB for reflowable text, PDF for fixed layouts, and common formats such as DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT, HTML, and standard images like JPG and PNG. Older MOBI files still open on many devices, yet they don't gain newer layout features.
Q4: Can I read fully offline?
Yes, you can read fully offline once you download the book to the device, so open your Library, tap the download icon, wait for the checkmark, and you can fly or commute without a connection, and any highlights or notes you make will sync the next time you are online, while Whispersync needs a connection only when it updates your last page across devices.
Q5: How do I mark a book as read on Kindle?
In many versions of the Kindle app you can long-press the book cover in your Library and choose Mark as Read, and on some Kindle e-readers you can open the three dot menu on the title and choose the same option, and if you don't see that control you can still organize finished books by moving them into a Finished or Read collection, and you can also rely on progress reaching the end which some views interpret as read for filtering.
Q6: Can I take screenshots of passages for notes?
Yes. On a Viwoods paper tablet, open Control Centre and use the screenshot tool to capture a full page. For a specific passage, use Picking → Crop to capture just the part you need.
