This is essentially a 3 stage process after you do it the first time (which is a 5 stage process because you have to pre-identify the email address you will be sending books from, as well as identify the kindle email address you will be sending books to). All in all, this process is less than desirable to me, and that is even not counting the fact that Amazon charges $0.10 per title you email to yourself using this method.
I use the @kindle.com address regularly to check out my books before I publish them on the KDP. By default the book (in the form of a double-zipped file of the html and images) goes to my e-ink Kindle, which is wi-fi. There is no charge. If I want to view it on the Fire, I go to Manage Your Kindle on Amazon and direct it there. I suppose I could make the Fire the default, but it seems more important to me to know how the book looks on an e-ink screen, since there are many more of them.
