Sending Your Documents for Conversion

Each Kindle has its own unique e-mail address. When you e-mail personal documents

to your Kindle, they are automatically converted to a Kindle-friendly format.

To set up your Kindle e-mail address, follow the steps below:

1.

On your computer, open your web browser and go to

http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle

2.

Sign-in to your Amazon account.

3.

In the Your Kindle(s) section, select "Edit Info."

4.

In the Kindle E-mail Address text field, change the first part of the e-mail address

to what you would like it to be. The @kindle.com will automatically be appended.

5.

Select "Update information" to save your changes and close the text entry box.

Your Kindle will only receive converted files from e-mail addresses you have authorized

on the Manage Your Kindle page to help prevent spam. The default setting dictates that

only items sent from your Amazon account e-mail address will be forwarded. You can

add e-mail addresses to the list by visiting http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle.

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

enter the e-mail address in the blank box.

2.

Select "Add Address."

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 wireless delivery directly to

your Kindle; a small fee will be charged for wireless delivery.
