Device: kobo forma, Kobo Libra, Huawei media Tab, fire HD10, PW3 HDX8.9,
as a test I send 3 docs via email to fire. a txt, a doc, and a docx
each appears, after downloading wihtin the local storage tab of the doc app, but as a goobledygoog_PDOC.prc name ( the correct name appears on the send to kindle tab)
i can see 3 new fiels with the same gobbledydook names in storage/emulated/0/documents.
when I try to open one I am aksed to choose a default app: kindle or moon+ , I choose kindle. I see correct files name and contents when i open a .prc. i also get the fiel name and the send-from email address in the kindle app top line title space. formatting within what were doc and docx looks well preserved.
so the document type : txt, doc, docx is removed in transit, and it would be trial and error to locate one of a larger number of pdocs for copying to PC, but it could be done.
I see now way to access these in Kindle for PC. that is not on the supported devices list for this pdoc transfer process.
had i used dropbox instead though,, I'd have the original word formats and Id be able to edit on the device; there is a bundled WPS for amazon app on the fire, and in my app library there is OFficeSuite Professional from back when that was a free app of the day . I suspect that .prc files are not locally editable but I leave that for others to test.
