Kindles are perfect for reading the latest novels, but did you know you can enjoy your favorite articles, documents, or web pages from your device as well? Reading documents on your Kindle allows you to be free from distractions, such as flashy ads or Facebook notifications, that are all too common when you’re on your smartphone or desktop.
This article will show you the simplest ways to send any type of online content to your Kindle for easy, distraction-free reading.
Sending Docs, PDFs, and Other Files Through Email
You can easily send documents to your Kindle by using your “Send to Kindle” email address. To find your Kindle email address, simply sign in to Amazon and follow these steps:

Once you have your Kindle address, you can start composing your email. Here’s how you can successfully send, convert, and view your documents:

- Make sure that your Kindle email address is in your Approved Personal Document Email List. You can do this by visiting this link: Add an Email Address to Receive Documents.
- Scan through the Kindle Personal Documents Service to double-check that your file type is supported.
