CONVERT BOOKS AND FILES FROM EMAIL TO KINDLE FRIENDLY FORMAT

 

HOW TO SEND A FILE THAT YOU RECEIVE IN YOUR EMAIL TO YOUR KINDLE SO IT IS KINDLE FRIENDLY

This may sound daunting, but it’s really super easy, especially after you do it a couple of times.  I am listing all the steps to walk you through it.

#1 add your email to your kindle's approved email list.

To add an approved email, go to your amazon, under 'your account', click account,

find & click the box that says your devices and content, 

scroll down and click the icon for kindle content (shows a reader under a tree),

click the yellow box that says manage your content and devices, 

click the tab near the top that says preferences,

scroll down and click personal document settings, [here you will also see your kindle's email address],

scroll past that and click add a new approved email address. This would be your personal email. If you do not authorize your personal email, it will NOT work.

#2 forward the email you received with the PDF or MOBI file to your kindle email address, BUT YOU MUST CHANGE THE SUBJECT TO THE WORD CONVERT as the email subject line or it will not work (no need to delete the content of the email as long as you change the subject title and the PDF or mobi file is still attached).

It will go through in just a few minutes and convert beautifully.

#2a – you can also attach your own documents into an email and forward them to your kindle email address.

Additional notes:

Leave your Amazon account page open.  After sending the PDF through email, go back to the Amazon tab you left open. 

Scroll up near the top and click the tab marked content. 

This is where you can see the items on your device.  Most likely [Show] "Books" is already selected.  Change that to [Show] "Docs" and you should see the book or ARC, and can manage/clean up any other content as well.  Once you see the book title in your list, go to your preferred kindle device and if you don't already see the book, click "sync" and it should come right through.

{Side note, this is the same section (“Books”) where your KindleUnlimited books can be returned so you can borrow more books}.
