If you rely on a Kindle (or Kindle app) for reading, you probably know that it supports not only ebooks, but also PDFs.
In fact, if you've done your homework, you also know that your Kindle (or Kindle app) has its own email address, meaning you can send any PDF straight to your device just by attaching it to an email.
- Jun 13, 2018 Sending a PDF to your Kindle is just a right-click away. If you read a lot of PDFs on a regular basis, you'll likely not want to send an email every time you want to convert one.
- Send to Kindle by E-mail Send documents to your Kindle as an email attachment. You and your approved contacts can send documents to your registered Kindle devices, free Kindle reading applications, and your Kindle Library in the Amazon Cloud by e-mailing them to your Send-to-Kindle e-mail address (name@kindle.com).
- HOW TO TRANSFER PDFS TO A KINDLE Amazon’s Kindle e-Reader does a great job of displaying eBooks — including your own personal PDFs, if you are using a Kindle 2 or Kindle DX.
But reading PDFs on a Kindle requires a little help. Portable Document Files (PDFs) are static images, boasting exactly the same dimensions, typeface, illustrations and formatting, on any device capable of opening them. That’s great news for anyone with a display large enough to view a PDF at its full size, but lousy news for anyone using a little Kindle e-reader. The comparatively small size of the display forces you to zoom and scroll around to read the document. It’s a pretty miserable experience.
The solution to this is to convert the PDFs to be read on a Kindle. We'll show you the aforementioned email trick first, and then a couple of other solutions. (Check out our latest Kindle reviews and ratings in our comprehensive roundup.)
Send a PDF to your Kindle via email
Every Amazon Kindle comes with its own email address. You can find the address of your Kindle under Settings > My Account > Send to Kindle Email.
Send an email to this address, typing Convert for the subject line and attaching the PDF you’d like to read. Amazon will automatically convert the contents of the PDF to a size that your e-reader can more readily handle. Once converted, the PDF will be sent to your Kindle using Amazon's Whispersync technology.
Using this method to convert PDFs has its drawbacks. First, it can take anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours for the PDF to show up in your Kindle’s library. Second, if you’re using your Kindle out of the country where it was originally registered, using Whispersync to load the file on your e-reader could end up costing you a few bucks. Third, if your PDF contains images or charts, the conversion process may orient them the wrong way in the document or split them across several pages.
Send a PDF with the Send to Kindle App
If you read a lot of PDFs on a regular basis, you'll likely not want to send an email every time you want to convert one. Amazon’s Send to Kindle app is the better option at that point. Available for Mac OS and Windows PCs, the Send to Kindle app is free to download and easy to use. Once installed, simply sign into the app using your Amazon credentials and right-click on the PDF you want to send to your Kindle. Boom: You’re done. The converted PDF will appear in your Kindle e-reader, with all of the same caveats that come with sending the document via email, sans the drudgery of typing out and sending a message.
Loading Pdf To Kindle
Amazon also offers a Send to Kindle browser extension for Firefox and Chrome users. A single click will send the PDF from your Browser to your Kindle via Whispersync.

Some of your personal documents that you load on your Kindle Paperwhite may be PDF documents. The Kindle Paperwhite can read PDF documents natively— in other words, without converting them.
The Kindle Paperwhite handles PDF documents differently from how it handles text in the usual Kindle format:
PDF documents are displayed with the text and graphics laid out exactly as in the original PDF document. You can’t change the layout, font size, typeface, line spacing, and words per line.
You can zoom in on a PDF document by unpinching. Note that this is different than increasing the font size. The text doesn’t reflow; instead, you see an enlarged view of a section of the screen. You can then pan around the screen by sliding your finger on the display. To zoom out, pinch the screen (move two fingers together). You can’t turn the page while zooming in.
You can adjust the contrast of the displayed document by tapping the Menu icon.
At the bottom of the screen, your Kindle Paperwhite displays the original PDF document’s page numbers.
Why would you want to read a document in PDF format? Many PDF documents are highly formatted with columns, tables, and figures that do not convert well to Kindle Paperwhite format. Although you lose the ability to make notes and marks in a PDF, you are able to read the document as originally presented.

The Kindle Paperwhite does not support reading PDFs in landscape mode.
Do you want to use Kindle Paperwhite features such as changing font size and making notes? When e-mailing the PDF file, simply convert the file to Kindle format (AZW) by typing CONVERT in the subject line of your message. If you do this, look carefully at the formatting of the PDF to make sure that a converted file is going to be acceptable to you for reading.
