Sending content from the Web to your Kindle is now a one-step process, at least for users of Google Chrome.
Amazon has rolled out a new Chrome extension called "Send to Kindle for Google Chrome." Installing the extension adds a button to Chrome that lets you send stories, blog posts, and other types of online content directly to your Kindle device and apps. The goal is to let you read and archive your favorite Web pages without having to be online.
You can send yourself an entire Web page or just selected text. And tapping into Amazon's Whispersync technology, you can read the content on one device and pick up where you left off on another.
To install the extension, fire up your Chrome browser and open the Send to Kindle download page. At the Chrome Web store, click on the Add to Chrome button and confirm the extension. You're then prompted to log in with your Amazon account.
After the extension is installed, you can choose which devices can receive the content. Those don't just include the Kindle itself but any device on which you've installed Amazon's Kindle app. I was given a choice of my iPhone, iPad, and Google Nexus tablet.
