My sister is a bookworm who used to read at least 10 pages daily. She recently bought a 55″ Westinghouse 4K UHD Roku TV. She regularly reads books on her smartphone by visiting the Internet Archive website. Reading books would be convenient for her if it were on a big screen. So, I suggested my sister watch Internet Archive on Roku TV using the screen mirroring method. Since she is doubtful about screen mirroring, I prepared this article to make her understand it better.
In this guide, I will teach how to screen mirror Internet Archive on Roku using a mobile device and PC.
