And I double-checked that many times when I first got my Kindle last year I send a lot of documents to my Kindle every day (A LOT) and always download over wi-fi for free. Since I don't have a 3G version of either the Kindle or Kindle Fire, I can't comment for sure, but you should be able to put your document cost limit to $0 under Manage Your Kindle and that will force download to only be over free wi-fi.

I always upload my books with Send to Kindle. I love that the PW separates my Docs from the Amazon books in the cloud! It's like having my very own Archive I customized my way and I get all the same benefits of a Amazon book with Whispersync. 5GB is alot of space too. Last year I had nearly 300 books uploaded before I wiped them all this year to start fresh. I own 5 Kindles devices and 1 Tablet so Syncing my books are very important to me. Although I only read on the PW as of late.

More annoying is that Amazon, without asking, changes periodicals into personal documents if you email them to your Kindle, so you end up with two categories: periodicals from Amazon, which go into the archive folder and get expired, and periodicals from Calibre, which don't, so every old issue sits outside all collections cluttering things up until you delete them. Yes, that's right, Amazon silently edits your MOBIs in flight. Not very nice, really.

I don't know why, but I've been having issues with books sent by email. The covers don't show up, but everything is fine if I just sideload them through USB. Is this a know issue? I send the books in AZW3 (which I always use) but I believe they are converted into mobi while being sent.

Pdoc service doesn't support KF8. It's best to convert them yourself to Mobi and then send them and you will get covers every time. Last edited by Blossom; 02-05-2013 at 07:59 PM. |
