Converting a PDF Book to Kindle Format


First you have to know your specific Kindle eMail.

If you have a Kindle, you can find your e-mail address two different ways:

1) One is to click on your Kindle Menu, then Settings icon, then My Account.

2) The second is to go to www.amazon.com/myk and click on Manage Your Devices, then look at the Kindle information. (The right device, green arrow; your eMail address, red arrow.)

Screen #1

The Kindle e-mail is for sending personal docs to your Kindle, which include documents that are converted for you into a Kindle-compatible format.

If you want to sent it via wi-fi, you just have to put the word “free” in front of the address, i.e., @kindle.com becomes @free.kindle.com

I understand that sending something the “free” way will also ensure you don’t get charged for emailing yourself a file.

Send an eMail to your Kindle address, add the attached PDF file, and wait a few minutes.

Good luck!

Yes, you could use Calibre... but this is how to do this if you don’t use Calibre. ☺
