Send to Kindle

Rellwood · 03-19-2018, 07:34 PM

Not sure if this is the right place, but I wanted to know if anyone knows what the limit to "send to Kindle" docs is.

I routinely buy books from Amazon, and other places, but since I tend to read fiction series I have to side-load them after editing the title to show the series before the title (Calibre). I even created a new account that only deals with those books so the ones I purchase don't mix in with the ones I side-loaded. I use the collections to keep track and like Whispersync to keep track of my place. Anyway, I finally got hip to the send to kindle feature and have been using it ...via the desktop app and not the email app.

After reading the terms and conditions, and ignoring all of them except the part that Amazon states that they may limit the number of books sent.

Does anyone know what that number is (roughly) or what conditions will trip Amazon to give my library particular notice?

You get 5 GB storage for uploaded stuff (does not count stuff bought from Amazon). After you've exceeded your storage limit for 180 days, Amazon will delete stuff, newest first, until you are back to your level of storage.

If all you are uploading are ebooks, chances are you will never reach capacity. Good place to put unread books from other sources. Then you remember that you bought it already somewhere else.
