For details on fees, see the topic "Fees for Personal Document Service"
on Amazon.com.
Tip:
If you would like to avoid the fee, address the e-mail so that the second part
of your Kindle e-mail address is @free.kindle.com. After sending to the @free.kindle.
com address, a link to the converted file will be e-mailed to your Amazon.com e-mail
address. You can then download the file to your Kindle's documents folder via USB
using your computer.
The conversion service on Your Kindle is meant for the receipt of personal, non-
commercial documents only. You may not authorize the sending of documents from
automated distribution services.
