Send to Kindle works fine. So does sending to the @free.kindle.com. The only problem is both of those options require me to download the book to my pc first, then send it on myself to my 3G kindle which is connected by wifi.

My issue is caused when I buy a book from a retailer such as Dreamspiner Press or AllRomance and use the faculties they have set up for them to send the book direct to my Kindle as they only use the @kindle.com address and I don't have the ability to change the address to insert the word 'free'.

Everything worked perfectly until a week ago so this is a recent development but Amazon has confirmed that using the @kindle.com address to send a book should not use whispernet if the kindle is conected via wifi.

Right now Amazon don't know what is going on as in their words 'it's a weird one'
