Hi all,
Although I've been a lurker for some time, this is my first post here.
I've had my Kindle for two weeks now and love it. I've been emailing myself several .pdf files via the @free.kindle.com address (when there is not a need to do so remotely). Unfortunately, I've never successfully been able to access my converted documents via the link that Amazon provides in their email. I know this is a computer-related problem but thought perhaps someone here might have a solution. I've tried disabling "block pop-ups."
When I click on the link in the email a file download dialog box pops up instead of a browser window. The "file" in the download box is not a file at all - no extension and just a partial file name. I've tried both IE and Firefox but a browser window does not open up in either - just a file download box. I'm running WinXP Pro.
I realize I can easily convert files over WN, or convert my own (I've done both), or fire up the laptop, but I like would the conversion via Amazon and my desktop to work as advertised.
I spent 45 minutes on the phone with Amazon CS and left them scratching their heads. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Am I missing something in settings?
Thanks to everyone on this forum for the excellent tips and help. I'm looking forward to spending more time here.
