Connect your Kindle library and listen to a book
Bring books from your Amazon account into CastReader, then open the original Kindle reader for Read Aloud or Explain. Keep the account and marketplace that hold your books.
Kindle library connection and reading are implemented on iOS and Android. The desktop extension reads Kindle for Web separately; connecting one device does not connect every device.
On the original platform
Kindle’s own Assistive Reader is another option for eligible books. In the Kindle app, open Aa → More → Assistive Reader; availability depends on the book and device.

Choose Kindle in Reading sources
Open CastReader’s Reading sources and connect Kindle. Sign in on Amazon’s official page with the account that owns or borrows the book.
Check the marketplace, then sync
Wait for your Kindle library and tap Sync. If the shelf is empty, use the offered Amazon marketplace choices to find the right region. If a book is open, return to Kindle Library before syncing.
Open a synced book
Return to CastReader, open a book from the Kindle shelf and wait for its readable page. Start Read Aloud or Explain. If Amazon asks you to sign in again, reconnect before retrying.
Before you start: A book must open in the Kindle web reader with your current access. Samples remain samples; expired loans and books unavailable on the web do not become full books through sync. This flow does not export an audiobook or remove DRM.
Using the desktop extension
In Chrome or Edge, sign in to Kindle for Web at the marketplace that holds your library, open a readable book page, then start CastReader. The extension works on the web reader, not inside a Kindle desktop app or e-reader.
