So long as you're in the manage devices, this is also where you add your own email so that you can mail devices to your kindle. If the document is already in mobi (doesn't have to be converted) there is no charge to email books to yourself. I use this feature all the time to email review copies. You add the related email and then the kindle accepts the book. So if you have it set up right, you can email books you have converted to your kindle. (If you mail an epub or doc it will try to convert and it will charge you 15 to 25 cents.) --This part is not correct. The help says it won't charge for doc and apparently they still do not support epub. You have to convert the epub first and then mail it. Sorry for the confusion.
