1. I am having trouble figuring out the My Clippings file. How do I delete stuff?
    Once a bookmark, note, highlight, or clipped page is added to the "My Clippings" file, it cannot be removed individually from the "My Clippings" file. You can edit the "My Clippings" file on your computer and save it back to your Kindle if you want to edit the contents of the file. Alternatively, you can move or remove the "My Clippings" file from Kindle and a new one will be created the next time you add a clipping or annotation to any content. Altering your "My Clippings" file does not affect any notes, bookmarks, or highlights you've made in individual documents. Those items will still be present the next time you open an item for reading, and you will be able to use them for navigation and reference. Also, the "My Clippings" file is simply a storage place for the notes you make. While viewing the file, you cannot navigate through to the materials referenced in the file.
  2. How do I convert documents so I can read them on my Kindle?
    Personal documents in file formats not automatically recognized by Kindle may be converted to a Kindle recognized format using e-mail. E-mail an attachment to a Kindle e-mail address and Amazon converts the file and delivers it to your Kindle or back to your computer. The following file formats can be converted via e-mail for viewing on Kindle: * Microsoft Word (.DOC) * Structured HTML (.HTML, .HTM) * JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG) * GIF (.GIF) * PNG (.PNG) * BMP (.BMP) The above file types can also be combined into a compressed ZIP (.ZIP) file. ZIP files are automatically opened up by the conversion service, converted to Kindle format, and sent to your Kindle or computer as specified. Converting PDF Files PDF conversion is experimental. The experimental category represents the features we are working on to enhance the Kindle experience even further. You can email your PDFs wirelessly to your Kindle. Due to PDF's fixed layout format, some complex PDF files might not format correctly on your Kindle. Sending Personal Documents to Your Kindle Getting your documents delivered to your Kindle is easy. Simply attach any compatible file format to a new e-mail message and send it to your Kindle's e-mail address. To send and convert your personal documents: 1. Open a new e-mail message in your e-mail client. 2. Check to make sure the "From" address is on your approved e-mail address list. 3. Enter the desired Kindle e-mail address in the "To" field. Use the "name"@kindle.com address for wireless delivery or "name"@free.kindle.com for free delivery to the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account. 4. Attach your document or documents to the e-mail message. If you are sending multiple files, you can compress them into a .zip file. 5. Send the e-mail with attachments. A subject line is not needed.
  3. How do I set up my email address?
    Establishing Kindle E-Mail Addresses To successfully send a personal document to Kindle, you'll need to establish your Kindle e-mail addresses to which your personal documents will be sent. These are the e-mail addresses that will appear on the "To" line on your e-mail message when you send documents for conversion. E-mail Address for Wireless Delivery Your Kindle's e-mail address is an inbound-only destination that allows you to receive e-mail attachments from senders on your Kindle approved e-mail list. An attachment sent to your Kindle's e-mail address ("name"@kindle.com) will be converted and delivered wirelessly to your Kindle for a charge of only ten cents per document. Delivery to Your Amazon.com Account E-mail Address If you are not in a wireless area or would like to avoid the ten-cent fee, you can send attachments to "name"@free.kindle.com to be converted and e-mailed back to your computer at the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account. You can then transfer the document to your Kindle using your USB connection. See Using Kindle with Your Computer for more information on transferring files via USB. To establish your Kindle e-mail addresses: 1. Visit the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com at www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle. 2. Check for your "Kindle E-mail Address" in the Your Kindle section. Default addresses may appear based on your Amazon.com account information. 3. Click on the "Edit Info" link. 4. Enter the name for your @kindle.com and @free.kindle.com e-mail addresses. 5. Click the "Done" button when you have finished updating your information. If you wish to change or update the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account, please see the Changing Your Name, E-mail Address, or Password Help page on Amazon.com.
