Transfer Calibre converted file to Amazon via email
Can someone please help me...and be very specific in your instructions as I am new to this whole process with e-readers / converting files!
![]() When I try to send my book in Calibre to my kindle account, I get an error message (see below at the end of this question). The process I am using to send it is as follows: 1. Highlight book 2. Click on Connect/share icon 3. Select start content server 4. then select email to myname@free.kindle.com (I've also tried myname@kindle.com and my personal email accounts) Then I receive this error message: ERROR: Failed to email books: Failed to email the following books: Switch (10060, 'A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond') Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 646, in _send_mails File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 96, in sendmail File "smtplib.py", line 295, in connect File "smtplib.py", line 273, in _get_socket File "socket.py", line 514, in create_connection error: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond |

I can't help much with step 4, but you do need to configure correctly for sending by email first. A mail server and username/password are needed. |

I regularly send html files to free.kindle.com; they have to be double-zipped. Dunno how this applies to a *.prc file, which I assume is what you're sending. Indeed, a *.prc file is what I get back from Amazon from my double-zipped html file!
