Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get Platformer delivered to my Kindle automatically?
Sign up for InboxToKindle and copy your unique inbox email address, then subscribe (or update your existing subscription) to Platformer using that address instead of your personal email. Every new issue is converted to EPUB and delivered to your Kindle automatically.
Can I keep reading Platformer in my regular inbox too?
Yes. Using your InboxToKindle address for Platformer doesn't cancel or change your existing subscription - it just gives you a second, Kindle-friendly copy of every issue. Many readers use the inbox address for the subscription and unsubscribe from email once they're used to reading on Kindle.
Will Platformer's formatting and images survive the conversion?
InboxToKindle converts each issue of Platformer to EPUB, preserving inline images, links, and paragraph structure while stripping tracking pixels and email chrome that don't belong on an e-reader.
Do I need a paid Platformer subscription for this to work?
No - InboxToKindle works with whatever Platformer sends to your inbox, whether that's the free tier or a paid subscription. If you're a paying subscriber, just use your InboxToKindle address for the subscription and paid issues will arrive on your Kindle exactly like free ones.
