File Size Limitation ?
Ok so I'm being stupid, I converted an HTML book (Txt only) in calibre,

it's 12.3 Mb in size, and i try to send it to username@free.kindle.com but it keeps failing to complete the send,

I have a feeling I remember reading there is a 10Mb file size limit, or am I mistaken ? Can't remember where I read it

Can't see a file size limit anywhere, it just says this:-

Quote:
Personal documents in supported file formats smaller than 5 MB are typically delivered to your "name"@free.kindle.com or "name"@kindle.com e-mail address within five minutes (per document). Personal documents larger than 5 MB may take longer.

I set my limit to $0,00 and sometimes get a notification that the file couldn't be delivered through my kindle-email (too big), and then it gets delivered the next day or so with wifi and through freekindle-mail.

Perhaps your email is limited to 10MB on the outbound? Nothing to do with Kindle or Amazon if that's the case.

For a file that big, it would be simpler to transfer it via the cable anyway.

I've successfully sent a 11MB PDF over the free.kindle.com account. Sent from gmail. Takes a little time, but it was delivered in less than 5 minutes.
