How to send a book to Kindle by email

How it works

Amazon's Personal Document Service assigns a unique @kindle.com email address to each device. Send a file to that address and it appears in your Kindle library over Wi-Fi — no cable, no app.

Supported formats

Amazon accepts: EPUB, MOBI, PDF, DOCX, HTML, RTF, TXT. FB2 is not on the list — convert it to EPUB first using BooksTuner.

Step 1 — Find your Kindle email address

There are three ways:

  • Website — sign in to amazon.com, go to Content & Devices → Preferences → Send-to-Kindle E-Mail Settings
  • Mobile app — More > Settings → Send-to-Kindle E-Mail Address
  • Kindle — All Settings > Your Account > Kindle Email Address

Step 2 — Add an approved sender

Amazon only delivers documents from addresses you've explicitly approved. If the sender isn't on the list, the email is silently dropped.

On amazon.com: Content & Devices → Preferences → "Approved Personal Document E-mail List" → "Add a new e-mail address".

Add your own email address if you're sending directly, or no-reply@tech.bookstuner.app if you're using BooksTuner.

Step 3 — Send the file

Via BooksTuner (FB2 conversion + send in one step):

  1. Upload your file at BooksTuner
  2. Edit metadata if needed
  3. For FB2, check the "Convert to EPUB" checkbox
  4. Enter your Kindle email and click "Next"

Directly from your email client (EPUB, MOBI, PDF):

Attach the file to an email from your approved address and send it to your Kindle address. The subject line doesn't matter.

Delivery time

Books usually appear on Kindle within a few minutes when connected to Wi-Fi. If the book doesn't arrive:

  • Check that the sending address is on your approved list
  • Check that the file is under 25 MB
  • Make sure Kindle is connected to Wi-Fi, not cellular

File size limit

Amazon accepts attachments up to 25 MB. If your book with cover exceeds that, download it and transfer via USB cable instead.
