Kindle Capture — Convert Kindle Books to Searchable PDF/EPUB

Turn Your Kindle Library Into Searchable PDFs

Kindle Capture converts your Kindle books into high-quality, searchable PDF or EPUB files — right from your Mac. Just double-click to start.

How it works: The app opens your books in Kindle Cloud Reader, captures each page as a high-resolution screenshot, and runs OCR to make the text fully searchable. No DRM removal or file hacking involved.

2. After setup, double-click Kindle Capture.app to launch

3. Enter your Amazon credentials and pick a book

4. Click "Convert" and save the PDF/EPUB wherever you want
