Sending documents wirelessly to Kindle for free

Today I accidentally discovered the way to send documents into Kindle for free. It’s pretty easy.

  1. Optionally set your charge limit in your Amazon account to 0.
  2. Send your documents to <your selected name>@kindle.com (if your charge limit is 0) or <your selected name>@free.kindle.com.
  3. Optionally you’ll get notice in your Kindle (as well via email) that the limit was exceeded, delete it.
  4. Connect to WiFi network (if you’re not already) and in a couple of seconds your documents will be downloaded through this connection.

I think is probably described somewhere, but who has time to read manuals, isn’t it? ;)

    Adding a little more info: write “convert” in the mail Subject, and your Kindle gets the ebook in it’s native format. The converting service is surprisingly good – it converts even PDFs correctly, including paragraphs (well, mostly) and images… Far better than Calibre for example.
