kindle question
Hi All,
I'm Canadian. I'm confused by Amazon's information. Can someone tell me a bit more about this. If I want to upload Word docs onto the device, can I convert them to the kindle format? I'm confused b/c the website says Canadians can't send files via wi-fi and the directions for conversation are via wi-fi. Is there a way to convert them when you upload them via USB? Or can you use another program to convert them and then upload them? Thanxs |

You can send the word document to Amazon using email and they will email you back a fully compatible file that will work on your Kindle. There is a free version and a paid version for this. Then you just copy it over via USB. There are also free applications available that can convert Word documents as well.

Do Canadians have access to this email feature?

Slightly off-topic here, if I may.... we Canadians struggle with another disadvantage too: some free books cannot be downloaded. Example: http://www.amazon.com/Great-Expectat...igital-text_56
Anyone found a workaround? Maybe change our country of residence in our Amazon account, temporarily? |

Thanks, Bookscanning.co; I don't particularly want that book, just wondering if there is a workaround.
