Sending Your Documents for Conversion

Each Kindle has its own unique e-mail address. When you e-mail personal documents to your Kindle, they are automatically
converted to a Kindle-friendly format.
To set up your Kindle e-mail address, follow the steps below:
1. On your computer, open your web browser and go to http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle (U.S. and other
countries) or http://www.amazon.co.uk/manageyourkindle (U.K. customers)
2. Sign-in to your Amazon account.
3. In the Your Kindle(s) section, choose the Kindle you want to set up an e-mail address for and select "Edit Info."
4. In the Kindle E-mail Address text field, change the first part of the e-mail address to what you would like it to be. The
@kindle.com will automatically be appended.
5. Select "Update information" to save your changes.
Your Kindle will only receive converted files from e-mail addresses you have authorized on the Manage Your Kindle page to
help prevent spam. The default setting dictates that only items sent from your Amazon account e-mail address will be
forwarded. You can add e-mail addresses to the list by visiting http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle (U.S. and other
countries) or http://www.amazon.co.uk/manageyourkindle (U.K. customers).
In Manage Your Kindle, add the addresses of your friends, co-workers, or anyone else you would like to enable to send you
files:
1. In the Your Kindle Approved E-mail List section on the Manage Your Kindle page, enter the e-mail address in the blank
box.
2. Select "Add Address."
Once you have set up the e-mail addresses, you can send and convert your personal documents by following the steps below:
1. Attach your document to a new e-mail or forward an existing e-mail that has a document attached. A subject is not
required.
2. Address the e-mail to your Kindle e-mail address. For Kindle Wi-Fi only models, personal documents are delivered at no
charge. For Kindle models that include 3G, you can avoid 3G delivery fees for the personal document service by
addressing the e-mail so that the second part of your Kindle e-mail address is @free.kindle.com. The document will be
delivered to your Kindle when your Kindle is connected via Wi-Fi and it will also be e-mailed to your Amazon e-mail
address. If Wi-Fi is not available, you can transfer the personal document to your Kindle's documents folder by
connecting your Kindle to your computer.
3. Send the e-mail.
Tip: If you want to convert PDF file(s) to Kindle format, you can do so by adding the word "convert" in the e-mail subject
line. Converting PDF files to Kindle format allows you to use some features not available for PDF files, such as Text-to-Speech.
For details on fees, see the topic "
The conversion service is meant for the receipt of personal, non-commercial documents only. You may not authorize the
sending of documents from automated distribution services.
