# 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.
