Sending documents to Fire

Mine is 1sst Gen, but that is irrelevant.

Ever since I got my first Kindle in 2008, and since getting the Fire in 2012, I have been getting documents to the Kindle by sending an email with the .doc file as an attachment. I then get back an email with a link that changes it to the .azw file, which I save.

Then, I hook up to USB, and just drag the file to the Kindle/documents in Explorer, and there it is. I update frequently on some of these by deleting the old, and then replacing it with the new.

I did the only last month, and it worked perfectly, as it always does, but three day ago, I sent the emails, but never got any in return. They did not bounce back, just went off into Never Never Land. Or, Cyber Cyber Land.

So, I called Amazon, and talked to two separate people, neither of whom seemed to understand the problem, or even what I had been doing all these years. The second person said she would research it and get back to me, but two days later have heard nothing.

Obviously, this has nothing to do with the Kindle itself. I asked if Amazon had stopped this service, but they did not know.

Anybody had any experience with this? lately. Does it work for you?
