I have never done this before, but if you email attachments to your Kindle, does Amazon automatically convert them to the Kindle format? And how long does this usually take?
Thanks everyone!

Yes they convert -- if it's one of the approved file types: .doc, .txt, .rtf (I think). .pdf is experimental and may not convert well depending on what it is.traceyreads said:I have never done this before, but if you email attachments to your Kindle, does Amazon automatically convert them to the Kindle format?

Thanks - this is really helpful ... can you or anyone chime in on how this works for those of us who don't have Whispernet access (i.e., need to have the document sent to our computer email address).pidgeon92 said:Here's a post I made yesterday, ...
Email a file to your Kindle
Without WhisperNet access, I would use a separate program to convert the file to a .AZW (Kindle) file. The program I recommend is called Stanza, which has desktop versions for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is free, and very easy to use.

After conversion, hook your Kindle to your PC via USB, and drag the .AZW file to the documents folder (very important!) on the Kindle. Then eject the Kindle from your PC before removing the USB cable.
