Using the PushToReader Firefox Extension
Install the PushToReader Firefox extension and send articles to your Kindle with one click.
The Firefox extension lets you send the article you're reading to your Kindle without leaving the page.
Before you start
To use the extension, you'll need a PushToReader account with your Kindle email configured and your PTR address added to Amazon's approved senders list. See Getting Started and How to Add PushToReader to Your Kindle Approved Senders if you haven't done that yet.
