Kindle with Slack?


Is there an app that will allow me to read a Kindle book on my Slack box?

TIA

If you use either the chrome or chromium browsers there is a kindle app in the chrome store. You can use that.

If you install Calibre it comes with a reader that will read Kindle or many other formats.

The Kindle desktop app for Windows works well with Wine.
