And if you've set up Calibre, you can manually send them over wi-fi for free (right-click each ebook in Calibre --> "Connect/share" --> "Email to <yourname>@free.kindle.com"). Calibre will *automatically* send new news, but I don't think it will for books.
- Set up Calibre in Preferences --> Sharing books by email. Easiest to use the hotmail or gmail buttons on the right if you have either of those e-mail accounts. Set e-mail to <yourkindleusername>@free.kindle.com> to get no charge wi-fi delivery. Select MOBI and check or uncheck "Auto send" for automatic delivery (you'd check it if you ever intend to read Calibre-generated newspapers or magazines). Make sure your Kindle's wireless is turned on whenever you send mobi ebooks in Calibre.
- If a 3G Kindle, Set up Amazon to have a 3G personal document charge limit of $0.00 so you don't accidentally get a charge when you're not in wi-fi range (unless you don't mind the charge).
Automatic e-mail delivery would be best: convert your ebook et voila, it's on your Kindle. But it looks like Calibre only does this for news (see description in Calibre Preferences --> Sharing books by email). You can maybe ask Kovid if there's a way to make Calibre automatically send
any new mobi content (not just newspapers and magazines).
