Chapter 8 Kindle and Your Computer

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 Approved Personal Documents E-mail List section on the Manage Your Kindle page, 

select “Add a new approved e-mail address.”

 

2.

  Add a new approved e-mail address in the blank box and click the Add Address button.

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  
delivery fees over Whispernet by going to Personal Document Settings on the Manage Your 
Kindle page and disabling “3G Delivery.” The document will be sent to your Kindle via Wi-Fi. 
A link to the converted document will also be sent via e-mail to your Amazon login 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.

Archival of Personal Documents

All personal documents sent to your Kindle e-mail address will be archived by default. You 
can go to Archived Items in Home to download your personal documents. You can also send 
the archived document to your Kindle from the Your Kindle Library section on the Manage 
Your Kindle page on Amazon. Archival of documents sent to Kindle e-mail addresses can be 
disabled by going to Personal Document Settings on the Manage Your Kindle page. This page 
has a Personal Document Archiving section for changing personal document archival settings.

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.
