Personal Docs not Delivering?

Otter · 10-06-2012, 03:59 PM

I was wondering if this is happening to anyone else? All week I've been able to email books to my PW by using my @kindle.com address. Today, nothing I send is going through to my PW....going to the library on Manage Your Kindle page doesn't show them pending either. Server overload maybe? Sorry for all the recent questions, but the kindle-world is turning out to be much different than the sony one

Thanks again~

Probably server issues. Normally the Kindle world is much better organized and efficient than it has been during the past week. I think this huge release has taxed Amazon's resources. It should get better soon.

Hrm. Is it working for you today? 3 hours and still no sign of any of the books I've sent, starting to worry. I can request new books/samples from amazon's site and they come right away, but I'm still not even seeing my docs in the digital library list.

It's working for me - speedy, zippy, with the PW, KT, and iPad Kindle app.
Are you sure you are sending them to the right address?

Working fine for me. Use Send to Kindle. It could be your email server acting up and this will bypass that.

Thanks Blossom, but that Send to Kindle thing just takes me to a page that says "attach your doc to an email" which is what I am already doing...so I must be missing something here, lol. But, your idea about my email server acting up reminded me of a time when mail I had sent out didn't show up for 12 hours to anyone off of our network. So I just added my yahoo email as an allowable source for personal doc delivery and tried sending to amazon that way, and bingo...straight through in a matter of minutes. Thanks for the idea!

It's a program you click on the link for PC or Mac then download and install it. Then when in explorer just right click on file and choose send to Kindle it will then upload it to the server.
