Sending Documents to your Kindle
- Identify your kindle email account. An email address is generated for every installation of a kindle app or kindle device purchase. Visit this page to find yours.
- Tell Amazon to approve the email address you'll be sending from by visiting this page. Click on "Personal Document Settings" and scroll to the bottom to add approved document emails.
- Compose an email to be sent to the email address you just identified
- Attach the file you would like to upload
- To convert the file to Kindle format, type "convert" in the subject line. This allows you to change font size, make annotations, and whispersync the text once uploaded.
