newbie here re calibre email to Kindle

li2boca · 10-28-2010, 02:45 PM

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place but couldn't find where to go. Problem is when I try to email a book from Calibre to name@kindle.free.com I get this:

ERROR: Failed to email books: Failed to email the following books:

A Secret Kept

(535, '5.7.1 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n5.7.1 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...y?answer=14257 q8sm6058703ybk.0')

I don't have a problem using the regular kindle account. This is for a Kindle version2.5.6

any help will be much appreciated.

The free account is for Amazon to mail you. It is not for any other purpose. The reading software forum is not he place for this sort of thing by the way. Use the Amazon forum from problems with Amazon stuff.

[sorry...I thought this was a calibre problem as it cannot be sent to the kindle address, which is correct .

Welcome to MobileRead, liboca.

Try using the "@kindle.com email.......no charge for that either. Just make sure it is listed on your amazon kindle account.

Also, you might have meant to post on the Calibre thread.

Just click on "new thread' here.....

thanks for your reply grandma. I did send it to the kindle.com address but get charged for that,whereas you don't with the free.
Thanks for the redirect.

The free address is @free.kindle.com, not @kindle.free.com, so that may be part of your problem too.
