Send to Kindle

Quickly transfer documents and eBooks from your PC to your Kindle devices.

Effortless File Transfers to Kindle Devices

Send to Kindle is a utility from Amazon designed to simplify sending documents and eBooks from your Windows computer to your Kindle devices and apps. The software offers a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, transforming document delivery from a manual process into a more streamlined experience.

Simple Drag-and-Drop Interface

One of the standout features is the drag-and-drop functionality. Users can move files—including PDFs, Word documents, and supported eBook formats—directly into the Send to Kindle window. The program also integrates with the Windows context menu, so sending a document is as simple as right-clicking a compatible file and selecting “Send to Kindle.” This integration reduces the need to interact with multiple windows or email addresses.

Multiple Device Support and Cloud Backup

Send to Kindle recognizes all Kindle devices registered to your Amazon account, including Kindle e-readers, Fire tablets, and Kindle apps on iOS and Android. Choose one or multiple devices for delivery in just a few clicks. Each transferred document is also archived in your Kindle library in the Amazon cloud, making it available for future download across all your registered devices.

Connect via USB or Wireless Delivery

The program allows the option to deliver files using Wi-Fi, or via Amazon’s Whispernet (3G/4G) service. Wireless delivery is convenient but be aware that delivery via Whispernet may incur charges based on the file size and your location. Wi-Fi transfers generally happen quickly and without cost.

PDF Conversion and Compatibility

When sending PDFs, the app provides the option to convert them for optimized reading on Kindle screens, including adjustable fonts and reflowed text. However, complex formatting or media-rich files may not always render perfectly after conversion. Most standard document and eBook formats are accepted, but DRM-protected files are not supported.

Performance and Reliability

Delivery times are typically fast, with most files appearing on your Kindle or app within minutes. Larger documents or files requiring conversion may take a bit longer. The application ran reliably during testing with no crashes or failed transfers.

Who Should Use Send to Kindle?

Send to Kindle is ideal for Kindle users who want a straightforward way to move personal documents, eBooks, or notes from their PC to their reading devices. Students, professionals, and avid eBook readers can all benefit from its simplicity and reliability.
