How to Transfer PDF eBooks to Kindle?

Transferring PDF files to Apple iPad is simple. You just need to drag and drop the PDF files to iTunes and then sync to your iPad easily. However, Kindle is quite different and, actually, more complicated. It is thankfully that your Kindle type can display PDF files so that you can transfer PDF to Kindle by using a USB cable or via email. Otherwise, you may need to do file conversion before you can read PDF eBooks on your Kindle device.

Part 1: Send PDF to PDF Readable Kindle Device

Click on the folder named "Documents", right click and select "Paste". Now your PDF file is on your Kindle. Just eject your Kindle from the computer and you can read the PDF on your Kindle immediately.

Just create a new email in your personal email and attach the PDF document. Type "CONVERT" in the subject line and sent to your Amazon email address.
