An easy way to personalize your Kindle is to add fonts. In this guide, we’ll go over where to find fonts and how to load them onto your Kindle.
To find a font you like, I would suggest either Google Fonts or DaFont. Both offer a wide variety of different and unique fonts to choose from.
Be aware: Kindles only support font files that are OpenType or TrueType. The font file extensions will end in .otf, .ttf, or .ttc.
How To Add Fonts To Your Kindle
- Chose a font you like and download it. In my case, I’ve chosen the Texturina font from the Google Fonts site.
- Next, locate the file folder in your downloads.
- If the file isn’t zipped, you can skip this step, but majority of the time it will be. Right click on the file, select extract all, and then extract when the pop-up window appears.
- Plug your Kindle into your computer and open the device’s directory in a separate window.
- Drag and drop the font files into the font folder of the Kindle. Copy all files as there will likely be multiple.
- That’s it! When you unplug your Kindle the new font you added should be available to use in the font selection menu. To test my font’s functionality, I like to use a “book” I created with the alphabet repeated in regular font, italics, and bold. The cover of the book also doubles as a lock screen for my Kindle.
