eReader Relay
Troubleshooting

Device and delivery

Diagnose a ready EPUB that did not appear on a Kindle or another device.

Ready means eReader Relay finished generating the EPUB. It does not guarantee that a third-party provider has accepted, converted, synchronized, and displayed the document.

Check eReader Relay first

  1. Open the book in EPUB library and confirm it is ready.
  2. Download it to verify the file is available.
  3. Confirm the intended device still exists and its delivery address is exact.
  4. Confirm the reading list or extension had that device selected.
  5. Try Send to device once from the existing library book.

Avoid generating repeated duplicate editions while diagnosing delivery.

Kindle checks

  • Add relay@ereaderrelay.com to Amazon's Approved Personal Document Email List.
  • Use the personal-document address assigned to the intended Kindle, not your Amazon login email.
  • Keep the Kindle online and synchronize it.
  • Check Amazon email for a rejection or verification request.
  • Allow time for Amazon to process and deliver the document.

Follow the complete Kindle approved-sender guide.

Kobo and other providers

Confirm the provider actually supports inbound EPUB email and supplied the registered address. Some devices require a separate transfer service or manual download and cannot receive arbitrary email attachments directly.

One device received it and another did not

Each selected device is a separate delivery destination. Recheck the failed destination's address and provider settings, then resend the existing EPUB only to that device.

No device was selected

The EPUB is still generated and stored in the library. Use Send to device later, or edit the reading list so future editions select the intended destinations.
