"Send to Kindle" for PC

weatherman · 10-25-2012, 04:16 PM

I'm sure this has been covered already, but it was new to me; today I downloaded the "Send to Kindle" app for PC, and it's really great - just right click on a document, and choose "send to Kindle" and it automatically converts the doc and sends it over wi-fi. Not only that but it's backed-up in the cloud, so when I got my new Kindle PW replacement today, it already automatically had downloaded this personal doc. Pretty nifty. There's also a "print to Kindle" function for working within Word etc. I haven't used it with any other stuff, but for just transferring documents to the Kindle it's a little easier (and wireless) than using Calibre.

It's all I use unless I am away from the computer. I love how it bypasses the email servers. However you have to upload each book one by one to keep the metadata correct. I keep hoping they will fix this.

I enjoy the fact that since I now have two Kindles I can send 'personal docs' to both and the cloud simultaneously for synching purposes.

Yes this is a must have feature for me. I have 3 Kindles and they must stay Sync at all times.

You can send to more than one device, I'm sending to my kindle, my iPhone and my iPad simultaneously. My only problem is that, for my Arabic mobi files, it is not good as it will change the file orientation from RTL to LTR, this should be fixed.
