A few honest answers
Before you
make room.
Which books can I export?
Export only books you own and have the rights to back up. OpenKindl is for your personal library. It does not grant copyright permissions or provide sharing, redistribution, or a book marketplace.
Is every Kindle book guaranteed to work?
No. Compatibility depends on the book, format, and Amazon’s services, which can change. Public release notes will identify supported systems and known limits. Keep your original purchases and check your exports.
Do I need another account?
The planned flow starts with Amazon sign-in inside the app. Browse your library first; create or sign in to an OpenKindl account only when you try to convert. Backup remains free.
Does my book leave my computer?
Ebook conversion runs locally. Cloud narration sends cleaned book text to a speech provider when you request it. Planned cloud sync will also transfer library files when enabled. These optional services need their own disclosures; see the privacy summary.
Is the first audiobook always completely free?
New accounts are planned to receive a limited token allowance for a first audiobook of reasonable length. A long book can exceed it. Exact allowances and generation estimates will be shown before paid narration is offered.
Can I use it on my phone today?
No public mobile release is available here. Desktop builds are coming soon; phone and tablet access with cross-device progress is planned. Check the download page for release availability.
Is OpenKindl part of Amazon?
No. OpenKindl is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon. Amazon and Kindle are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
