Using Your Free Kindle Reader Email Address

kindle-coverMany Kindle owners are not even aware that along with your Kindle comes a unique email address that can be conveniently used to make the most out of your Kindle e-book reader device. If you see an article online, for example, and want to send it to your Kindle for reading at your leisure, the Kindle email address is just the right tool to make that happen.

Oftentimes articles and other text found online is not as user-friendly in terms of readability as the realistic-looking words on a Kindle, with the parchment-like electronic paper, vivid ink, and the soft easy-on-the-eyes glow of the Kindle screen. But you may be able to simply send those articles via email to your Kindle reader.

Your Kindle Email Address

  • The email address associated with your Kindle is free of charge, and it is unique to you – so it’s not the same address given to any other owner of a Kindle.
  • If you are not sure what your individual Kindle email address is, go to the web link www.amazon.com/myk – and then click on the section called “Manage Your Devices.”
  • Inside that section look for Personal Document Setting. There you will see information about your account, including your Kindle email address, either shown in the format of [your name] @free.kindle.com or [your name] @kindle.com.

You and your approved contacts can send documents to your registered Kindle devices, free Kindle reading applications, and your Amazon Cloud Drive by e-mailing them to your Kindle e-mail address.

Sending Documents to Kindle

To send a document to your Kindle device or app, simply attach it to an e-mail addressed to your Send-to-Kindle e-mail. You don’t even have to include a subject in the email before sending it.

The following document formats are all supported and can be sent to your Kindle using the email method:

Kindle Format (.MOBI, .AZW)

Microsoft Word (.DOC, .DOCX)

HTML (.HTML, .HTM)

RTF (.RTF)

JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG)

PNG (.PNG)

BMP (.BMP)

GIF (.GIF)

PDF (.PDF)

Customizing Your PDF Files in Kindle

PDFs can also be converted to the Kindle format. That lets you use functions within Kindle that you typically do not have with regular PDF documents.

You can change the font size, for instance, which is a great feature if you like larger print for easier reading or if you have a particular font that is your favorite.

You can also perform annotations as you read that PDF document, which is a valuable tool for those who are doing research or are students who want to make notes as they read.

To have a personal document converted to Kindle format (.azw), the subject line should be “convert” when e-mailing it to your Kindle address.

Activate Whispersync

Having PDF files converted to Kindle also allows those who use the Whispersync program from Amazon to apply it to those documents.

For those who are not familiar with Whispersync, it is a unique feature that you can subscribe to as a Kindle user that lets you turn a text file into an audio file or visa-versa.

The Amazon Whispersync app provides a professional audio narration of a book, and is available for most e-books at a cost per book that varies between $4 and $12. Around 30,000 or more titles are available for use with Whispersync.

So if you like audio books, you can use Whispersync to turn your document into an audio book format. Likewise, you can switch from an audio format back to a readable format. You can even go back and forth, and when Whispersync is operating it highlights text, which can help you with taking notes.
