KINDLE USER’S GUIDE Chapter 8 • 150

8.3 Converting and Transferring Your Documents

In addition to reading commercially available materials, you can have Amazon convert

your personal documents into a Kindle-compatible format for reading on your Kindle.

Amazon charges a fee for personal documents delivered directly to your Kindle via 3G

(on Kindle 3G+Wi-Fi models). You can avoid fees for the personal document service by

e-mailing the files to your Kindle’s @free.kindle.com e-mail address. For more

information, see "Sending Your Documents for Conversion".

Supported Formats for Conversion

In addition to the file formats listed above, you can also convert other personal

documents to read on your Kindle. The supported file formats are listed below:

• Unprotected Microsoft Word (.DOC, .DOCX)

• Text and RTF (.TXT, .RTF)

• Structured HTML (.HTML, .HTM)

• JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG)

• GIF (.GIF)

• PNG (.PNG)

•BMP (.BMP)

• Compressed ZIP (.ZIP)

Note: DOCX con

version is currently an experimental feature on Kindle. Some DOCX

files might not format correctly on your Kindle. You will receive an e-mail notification

if this occurs, or if a file you send is not supported for conversion.

Tip: ZIP files are automatically opened up by the conversion service if you choose to

compress your documents. Any enclosed files listed above inside the ZIP file will be

converted and sent to your Kindle or computer as specified.
