Be careful when sending documents to your kindle that need conversion. There is a fee involved for doing so. If you do this with a large number of books, it can add up to quite a fee. Your best bet is with calibre software. It is also the quickest way to send to your device.
1. install calibre
2. import library
3. go to preferences and add your kindle email addy. (use the @free.kindle.com to avoid 3g charges)
4. highlight all books you want to send
5. click connect/share ... email to
6. let it go, but keep the kindle on and connected to wifi. This will take quite a long time (5 min/book) but there will be no charges involved.
when sending to your device the @free.kindle.com goes only to your wifi, not 3G. This avoids 3G transfer charges, such as the $.99/MB here in canada.
Of course you can also just leave your kindle plugged into the USB and select send to device instead of email. Either way, it's free and auto converts the files to a format the kindle can read.
As for sending to your device without converting, extra software etc, just email the book as an attachment to your kindle address and you will be charged the $.15 to convert, plus the 3G charges (if not using @free.kindle.com) of $.15/MB or $.99/MB if you are outside the USA.
I hope this clears some things up.
Now for my question:
Does anyone know if there is a way to get the kindle to read the metadata to list by series? I hope I do not have to create collections for each series. I have a lot of books and this would be of GREAT use.
Thanks
