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

2.In the "Your Kindle(s)" section, select "Edit Info".

3.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.

4.Select "Update information" to save your changes and close the text entry box.

Once you have set up your e-mail address, 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 necessary.

2.Address the e-mail to the appropriate e-mail address for either wireless delivery or for delivery back to your computer. The e-mail addresses are found on your "Manage Your Kindle" page on Amazon.com mentioned above.

3.Send the e-mail.

Tip: 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.com account e-mail address will be forwarded. You can add e-mail addresses to the list by visiting
