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 files 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 “Fees for Personal Document Service” at Amazon’s website.
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.
8.4 Audiobooks and MP3s
You can purchase, transfer, and play Audible audiobooks from Amazon and transfer MP3 files to Kindle to play as background audio while you read.
Audible Audiobooks
In some countries, Audible audiobooks are available for purchase from the Kindle Store. Due to their large file size, Audible purchases can only be delivered wirelessly to your Kindle via a Wi-Fi connection. If Wi-Fi is not available at your location, you can purchase and down- load Audible content from Audible.com through your Windows or Mac computer. You can then transfer Audible content over USB to your Kindle’s “audible” folder, so you can listen to them on your Kindle. Your Audible audiobooks will appear on your Home screen with your other documents. An Audible audiobook will have the word “audible” preceeding the title to indicate that it is an Audible audiobook.
