I stopped using Amazon a while back, but it was where I got all my books for a long time. I do thriftbooks mostly now, and try to buy directly from publishers when it’s a newer book, but I’m always interested in finding new spots to cop some sweet books.

    Send to device should be sending it to the memory of your Kindle. I have a Kobo and that’s how it is for me at least and I don’t think it’d be that different for Kindles from what I understand.

        You can send attachments from your email account to your Kindle email address. You have to add your personal email address to your Kindle safe list, which can take a few tries.

            It can take a few goes to set up for some reason.

            On Android, if you download a PDF and ‘share’ it with your Kindle app, it will open a ‘Send to Kindle’ page.

            Click ‘PDF Options’ then ‘Make layout adjustable’.

            Toggle ‘Add to your library’ ‘On’.

            Then ‘send’.

            Voila, PDF -> ePub/mobi.

            It’s not perfect but its better than squinting at tiny PDF text on a smart phone screen.

            Apparently you can do this from the web, too: https://ebookfriendly.com/new-features-added-to-send-to-kindle-2023/

              Hold up, you can send and convert at the same time? Can you do this from a desktop or is this one of the few things that Android and Kindle can agree on?

                Yes, I did it by accident last week lol.

                I think that link above has some instructions for doing it on desktop through your browser.
