How to Make Kindle Quote Cards (#KindleQuotes) – 2026 Update

by | Feb 25, 2020 | Articles

#KindleQuotes is the share-graphic feature inside the Kindle reading app that lets you pick a passage of a book, generate a beautiful quote card with the cover art baked in, and post it to social media or send it to a friend. This walkthrough is the updated 2026 version (the steps changed when Amazon refreshed the Kindle iOS app).

How to make a #KindleQuote on the Kindle app

  1. Open the book in the Kindle reading app on your phone or tablet.
  2. Press and hold to highlight the passage you want to share.
  3. The selection toolbar will appear. Tap the Share icon (an arrow / box icon at the top of the highlight menu).
  4. Choose Share quote as image (sometimes labeled “Share as image” or just shown as a graphic icon, depending on app version).
  5. The Kindle app builds a quote card with the book cover. Pick your destination – Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, Threads, Bluesky, iMessage, or save to camera roll.
  6. Optional but recommended: switch to the Text tab in the share sheet first and copy the quote plus the buy link so you can paste both into your post caption.

Compatibility note: Kindle quote-as-image works on iOS Kindle app and on newer versions of the Android Kindle app. If the option isn’t visible on your device, update the app from the App Store or Play Store and try again.

Pro tips for great-looking Kindle quote cards

  • Pick lines, not paragraphs. Two or three lines fit the card best. Long highlights get visually cluttered.
  • Lead with hook lines. First-line dialogue, opening hooks, and gut-punch reveals share well. Skip context-heavy passages.
  • Tag the author. Add @ tags for the author on each network you post to so they see and re-share.
  • Use #KindleQuotes on Instagram and X/Twitter. The hashtag is heavily used by the Kindle reading community, and Amazon’s own Kindle account regularly re-shares from it.
  • Always credit the book. The card usually shows the cover; if your destination strips images (some text-only platforms do), paste the title and author manually.

If you’re sharing a Michelle M. Pillow quote

If you post a #KindleQuote from one of my books, tag me so I can re-share. Tag handles:

  • Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, Threads: @AuthorMichellePillow
  • TikTok: @michellepillow

The Pillow Fighter Fan Club on Facebook is a friendly place to share quote cards with other readers, too.
