Convert Your Own Documents
In addition to all of the great reading material you can get from the Kindle Store, Amazon can also convert your own documents
so you can read them on Kindle. You can e-mail Microsoft Word, TXT, HTML, RTF, or image files like JPEGs and GIFs to
your dedicated Kindle e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon). We
will convert the document into Kindle format and wirelessly send it directly to your Kindle via Whispernet (fees may apply) or
back to your computer for free. If you e-mail a PDF to your Kindle, it will be sent to your device with no conversion.
Loan Books
You can share your favorite book with any friend who has a Kindle or uses one of our Kindle applications on supported devices.
To lend books, go to the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.

The browser will launch and allow you to link your Kindle to your social network accounts.
