Never mind. I finally found it, and was able to drag it into my email and it has shown up on my Kindle home page. Thanks for your insrtuctions. Hi Thank you for this, I have, I think, read it carefully and have followed the instructions for email. Can you think what I can be doing wrong.
Thanks in anticipation. I must be doing something wrong I open the email on my Kindle fire and It gets downloaded but to my docs. A little frustrating to say the least!! Thank you! I get that every once in a while. Often the cause is a damaged download. In most cases re-downloading solves the problem.
I still have to have the Mobipocket app on my laptop to read any of those books. I have a significant amount of money in those books. Hi Leo, good article. Problem for Gmail users is the 25mb maximum attachment size limitation. So your choices are to use a different email, or use the USB connection option that Leo talks about at the bottom of the article. As mentioned in the article and this happens frequently with my kindle — using the USB connection option, Amazon can screw up the formatting of the book and is no where near as good as the email one.
I do use Gmail, but if I ran into this limitation I would either a live with just copying over USB, or b use a different mail provider for this purpose which of course means you have to configure your Amazon Kindle account to accept from that address. Thanks Leo but no real solution for me, see my above answer to Connie. Cheers, Bruce. It is still usable but very frustrating at times. This has happened more than once and the problem has only manifested itself with the kindle…….

I send file to my kindle email, the email is sent, but does not download to kindle, nothing happen on kindle. I always download file via computer. Thanks for the detailed step-by-step instructions. The process you advise worked perfectly in getting my. I used PDF4Kindle for the file conversion, by the way. I welcome any input you have about that too. Any ideas, suggestions? The Kindle needs to connect to the Amazon servers in order to get the email that you sent.
You would need to connect the Kindle to the internet in order to retrieve it. You could go to an internet cafe to get the file.

I was totally baffled on how to read my new book in the mobi format. Can you tell me how I remove unwanted files that got accidentally sent to my kindle email address.
