+# Send A PDF To Your Kindle
+
+I recently got a Kindle. I already have a bunch of PDF and ePub books on my
+computer that I've bought over the years. I wanted to be able to read some of
+those books on the Kindle. I found that there is a way to send these formats to
+your Kindle via email.
+
+There are a couple steps to get this working.
+
+First, from the Amazon account that is tied to the Kindle device, open the
+_Account_ dropdown and click _Devices. Any devices tied to your account will be
+listed there. Navigate to the one you want to send to. Under the _Device
+Summary_ with be a custom email address for that device. Something like
+`youremail_abc123@kindle.com`.
+
+That's the email you'll send the PDF or ePub attachment to.
+
+Second, that Kindle email address will only receive and process documents from
+a known, verified email address. Back on the _Devices_page, click on the
+_Preferences_ tab. Under _Personal Document Preferences_ make sure that the
+_Approved Personal Document Email List_ includes the email address you'll be
+sending from. Add it if not.
+
+Everything is set up. Now compose an email to that Kindle address, add the
+attachment, and send. Give it 5 or so minutes to process and it should show up
+on your device.
+
+Additionally, you can go to the _Content_ tab and then to _Digital Content_ to
+see what documents you have set and which devices have received them.
