sending long files. This was how I found out that highlighting and notes don't work if you send a document file and don't use the convert option. You also won't be able to get table of contents navigation unless you send a file in mobi format. The Mac has lots of authoring tools for ePub, but you'd need to convert ebook format to use all the features with the Kindle app. HTH.

All of the actions for managing actions and adding other email addresses that you allow to send contents to your personal documents, managing your Kindle, and getting help, have to be taken at the Amazon web site. The email address listed under the Settings screen of your Kindle app is only used to tell you which unique email address has been assigned to your Kindle app for that device. I have no way of knowing what that would be for any other user. If you have the Kindle App installed on another iOS device, that is also associated with your Amazon account, you'll have a slightly different email address to be used for sending documents to that device, that you can also find out under the Settings screen. But probably, both the URL for the Amazon web pages to manage your account to add email addresses, and the personal email address that shows up under the Settings scree for your Kindle, will show the domain for your country. Also, since my account works only in the U.S., I can't check on the links and procedures for the Amazon web pages in other countries. However, doing a web search for documentation pages indicates you should just be able to substitute your Amazon store's web address as a prefix for the ones I used for the U.S. Amazon Store. For example, I went to a Manage Your Kindle web page for the U.S. Amazon Store at: http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle A UK user would go to the corresponding web page at the UK Amazon Kindle Store, which would involve changing the www.amazon.com prefix in these addresses to www.amazon.co.uk. So the link to a U.K. user's Manage Your Kindle Page would be: http://www.amazon.co.uk/manageyourkindle A Canadian user would have to substitute www.amazon.ca as a prefix and use: http://www.amzon.ca/manageyourkindle In other words, you use the URL of the Amazon Store for your country, which might be France, Germany, Italy, etc. and append a slash character followed by the words for manage my kindle, typed as all lower case letters with no spaces between the words, and without the quote marks.

All of the actions for managing actions and adding other email addresses that you allow to send contents to your personal documents, managing your Kindle, and getting help, have to be taken at the Amazon web site. The email address listed under the Settings screen of your Kindle app is only used to tell you which unique email address has been assigned to your Kindle app for that device. I have no way of knowing what that would be for any other user. If you have the Kindle App installed on another iOS device, that is also associated with your Amazon account, you'll have a slightly different email address to be used for sending documents to that device, that you can also find out under the Settings screen. But probably, both the URL for the Amazon web pages to manage your account to add email addresses, and the personal email address that shows up under the Settings scree for your Kindle, will show the domain for your country.

I know that the URL links that I list above to access the Manage Your Kindle page in those other stores are valid -- but only from doing a web search. I can't actually test the actions for any store other than the U.S. Amazon Store, because I would need to have active Amazon accounts in all these other countries to get past the login screen.

Hi Teresa. Yep, I have my email address listed as one of the approved addresses, so I'm really not sure what the issue is. I tried installing the send 2 Kindle program for windows, but when I right click it, it appears that none of the elements are readable with jaws. Do you know if it should take a long time to receive a book through your documents? I converted a book from Bookshare yesterday and still do not see it. I also have not received any email errors from Amazon, so I am not sure what's going on. *shrugs*.

Re: Kindle Personal Document Services
Hi Scott, My mailed documents took about 2 minutes to show up in the Kindle app, except for one that I tried to convert that was an invalid document type. In that case, when I checked my email, there was a notice that the conversion had failed. The documents show up in your Docs library, so they'll be displayed if the screen heading is All Items or Docs on your Kindle home page. You can switch libraries by double tapping the button for the library, which is the first item on your library screen -- at the top center of the screen, just below the time on the status menu bar. If you add documents, or if you decide to use the Newsstand to subscribe to magazines or journals, you'll probably find it more convenient to navigate to separate libraries on your device, instead of having everything mixed together. Either touch the button for your library in the heading area at the top center of the screen, or navigate there with a four finger tap in the top half of the screen, and then double tap. On the Libraries screen you can flick through the list (All Items, Books, Newsstand, or Docs) and double tap to select. You can also use the search option from this screen to find books or documents. When I tested sending documents for the first time, I switched my selected library to Docs. The top of the Docs library screen also lists your personal Kindle email address associated with this device at the top of the screen. VoiceOver says send documents to user id AT kindle.com. If you want to force the screen to refresh, you can do a double tap and hold on the email address and then, without lifting your finger from the screen, pull vertically down, and then release. You'll hear VoiceOver say sync finished. However, I didn't need to force the sync in order to find the document I emailed. I didn't try any fancy browser or program add-ons when sending the trial documents. I just created an email with an attached document in the normal way (e.g., on a Mac you can either just do a Command-C to copy a file in Finder, and a Command-V to paste it into an email, or you can select one or multiple files, and then use a service menu option to create a New email with selection. I just typed in the email address, especially since I wanted to make sure that both the regular email and the variant using free.kindle.com instead of kindle.com would work. I started with short files of the different listed valid file types, since I wanted to check how these worked before sending long files. This was how I found out that highlighting and notes don't work if you send a document file and don't use the convert option. You also won't be able to get table of contents navigation unless you send a file in mobi format. The Mac has lots of authoring tools for ePub, but you'd need to convert ebook format to use all the features with the Kindle app. HTH.

Re: Kindle Personal Document Services
have to worry about using 3G service to get your personal documents sent to your iOS devices, and being charged for this. For example, I think that Canada does not use the 3G service, but I'd have to check. If your country does support syncing and sending your personal documents sent by email over 3G, and this includes the U.S., then it seems that the only easy way to ensure that your personal document are only sent over wi-fi without charges, is to add free followed by a period separator to the beginning of the Amazon domain of the email address. You can probably find out if this applies to you by reading the Kindle help documentation pages for your country's store. Note that you don't need to change anything about the email address that shows up on your device under the Settings screen of the Kindle app. Treat that as information. You can create an entry in your Contacts associated with that address I found the description of when you might get charged for Whispersync 3G transfers to be fairly tortuous reading. The only sure ways to avoid being charged seem to be by setting an upper limit of $0.00 for the authorized per transfer charge on one of the Amazon pages for your account, or using the free variant if the email address for your device. Since I checked that sending attached documents to your- address AT free.amazon.com worked as well as your-address AT amazon.com (where your-address AT kindle.com is the email address assigned to your Kindle app and device shown in the Kindle App's Settings screen, this is what I am using.
