Three Ways to Read Fanfiction on your Kindle Paperwhite

For all you rebellious teens out there (haha totally not me), here are three ways you can read fanfiction on your Amazon Kindle.

1. Experimental Browser

If you’ve gotten the latest Kindle update, it’s called “Web Browser” now, but it works the same way.

So, credit to my older sibling on this one. Basically there’s a web browser built in to your Kindle–it’s meant for things like hotel Wi-Fi, where you have to enter your room number or whatever. Obviously you need Wi-Fi to operate the browser, but we’ve learned a few tricks.

First, open a fanfiction site. On my kindle, Wattpad and Tumblr don’t work, but FanFiction.net and Ao3 work perfectly–well, Ao3 works perfectly, FF.net is a little rocky.

Tricks for FanFiction.net

If you’re dedicated enough, you can edit the URL to go to the next chapter of your fic, which is a LOT easier than trying to click the little buttons.
You can do the same with fandoms, but it’s a little harder.
This goes for both FF.net and Ao3, but you can bookmark pages on your Kindle. It’s very convenient to bookmark your favorite fandoms or works, and then you can find things easier (just less steps).

Tricks for Ao3

Okay, this one is important: click the “Entire Work” button. It means that you’ll be able to see the entire fic at once, and won’t have to click the chapter buttons. This also means that you can turn your Wi-Fi off and still read your fic, as long as you don’t close out of it.
Do the bookmark thing (see FF.net).

Disadvantages

If you accidentally click the special offer on your home screen, you’ll be clicked out of your fic, which means you have to load it again, and often do a LOT of scrolling.
Especially for FF.net, it’s kind of glitchy.
It’s hard to leave comments.
You can’t do ANYTHING else on your Kindle while reading your fic, because you can’t close out of it.
If you try hard enough, you can read offline.
You can’t change the text size or make highlights.
THAT’S A LOT OF SCROLLING.
Hard to log in.

Advantages

Other people on your account can’t see what you do on your browser.
The bookmarks are really helpful.
If you’re on Ao3, you can comment sort of easily?? It doesn’t work as well as it does on a laptop, but if you really want to you can.
It’s portable!

2. Downloading from the browser

Okay, so as far as I know, this ONLY works for Ao3, but there may be some other way to do this for FF.net. Basically you can go to the fic, open the entire work, and download it as a MOBI, TXT, or EPUB file. (The others don’t work.) There should be a button up at the top to do that, and it’ll ask you which type of file you want to download. I’ve only tried with MOBI so far, and that’s worked great. Then your kindle will ask you if you actually want to download it, and if you click yes, it’ll go to your home screen. Everyone else on your account can also see the file, which could be an advantage or a disadvantage.

The way it’s formatted is actually brilliant–it has the author(s) entered as the author(s) of the book, you can go to different chapters with the “Go To” tool, and you can see all the chapter notes. It’s treated just like a normal eBook.

Disadvantages

You have to struggle through the browser to download it.
It only works for Ao3.
Everyone else on your account can see and download the file.
You can’t see comments or leave your own.

Advantages

It’s treated like a book.
You don’t have the danger of losing your place.
You can change the text size and font.
You can read it entirely offline.
Everyone else on your account can see and download the file.
It looks less suspicious.

3. Send-to-Kindle email

Sooo I haven’t tried this one yet, but I’m 98% sure it’ll work. If you look in your settings you can find your send-to-Kindle email, which is individual to your device. Basically you can send files to your kindle–it’s intended for work, but it works with any kind of file, I think.

On Ao3 you can download fics as different file types, so it would definitely work for that, but I’m not sure if you can do that for Wattpad or FanFiction.net (or Tumblr).

If you send a file to your kindle, you can only see it on that device, but you can write notes and highlights and change text size like with a normal book. This is probably the most functional way to read fanfic on kindle because you can do it for other sites (I think). If anyone has tried this, let me know.

Reverse stock split - Aviva (AV.LSE)

Aviva have issued a reverse stock split at a 19:25 ratio, so if you held 50 shares for example, this would become 38. Reverse stock splits reduce the number of shares available, potentially increasing the value of its remaining shares. This comes before a special dividend payment on May 31st, where the price drop seen currently will be reimbursed to share holders as a return of capital.
