How to Read PDF Documents on Kindle

Find the email address for your Kindle

You’ll need to know your Kindle’s email address to transmit PDF to your Amazon Kindle device. You’ll have to check it up because you weren’t informed when you first set up your Kindle, but it’s not a big deal. To begin, go to Amazon website and create an account.

• Locate an option labeled ‘Account and Lists’ that should appear at the top-right of the main Amazon screen.
• Select ‘Your devices and content’ and then select ‘Manage Devices.’
• A complete list of the books you’ve allocated to Kindle account should now appear.
• There should be some options above this list in a toolbar like ‘Content,’ which should be followed by ‘Devices,’ ‘Preferences,’ ‘Privacy Settings,’ and ‘Devices.’

You’ll be taken to a Device Summary page, which will show you your Kindle email address, as well as the sort of device you have. We recommend keeping it as a contact in your preferred email app so you can easily email it.

Confirm your email address

Not just anybody may email your Kindle to have their PDFs accessible on the device; you must now approve your email address so that when the Kindle receives your PDF, it will know to download it. If you authorize an email address other than the one you want to use to transmit documents to your Kindle, it will not work.

• To approve email address, repeat the steps above, and pick ‘Preferences’ in the top bar.
• Scroll down the list until you come across ‘Personal Document Settings,’ and pick it to expand the choices.
• Scroll down until you see the ‘Approved Personal Document E-mail List’.

This list will display who may send content to your Kindle, and you want to be on it.

You should, of course, pick the option to ‘Add a new approved e-mail address’ below the emails. To get accepted, enter your email address and click ‘Add address.’ You should add all of the email addresses that you could use to deliver PDFs to your Kindle right now.

Send the PDF file to your Kindle

Simply drag the PDF file into your preferred email client, attach it to an email, and send it to your Kindle email account. You can transfer many documents at once on your Kindle. It’s worth noting that if you send Amazon a PDF file, you can request that Amazon convert it to a Kindle format, which allows you to annotate the sections and modify the font size. Simply type the phrase “convert” in the subject line, and the rest will be taken care of automatically.

You should be able to access the file immediately after sending it to your Kindle. If it doesn’t show up right away, double-check that the email was sent and that your Kindle is connected to the network . If both of these are true, syncing your Kindle will most likely help. To do so, go to the Kindle home page, select “settings,” and then “Sync Your Kindle.”
