I've sent PD books to my wifi Kindle, at which point they show up in my archived items. Once they're in my archived items, I'm able to download them to my DXG at no charge. I don't know if this is possible without having 2 Kindles.

I too have a both kindle keyboard and kindle DXG registered at my account. I am able to send a book to my kindle keyboard's free mail address but it goes to personal documents folder on my amazon page. And i am unable to see it in the archives menu on my kindle DXG. I am able to send it wirelessly to my kindle DXG over Amazon page but is there a way to make the personal documents shown on the archive folder to download from my kindle DXG whenever i want?

The v2 firmware used by the Kindle DX doesn't support personal documents.

I thought so too, but when mikeschr mentioned about that i wanted to verify if i was missing something or not.

BTW you can send your documents wirelessly to your kindle DXG for free from personal documents sections in your kindle library in the amazon page. But they don't show up in the archive folder on your kindle DXG, or at least i couldn't succeed to make it happen.

The behaviour you're seeing is exactly as expected.

I wasn't aware that there was a way to send my documents wirelessly to my kindle DXG for free and now i am happy it is there. Wish it was automatic but at least it doesn't take more than a few clicks on Amazon page.

Are you sure that it's free? I was under the impression that there was a charge for sending files via 3G.

Well my max charge limit is at 0 and i was able to receive 2 books via 3g for free. All i did was to send the documents to my kindle in personal documents section. Something has changed with the enabling of kindle personal documents program i guess.

This is acually the way I did it. I misspoke when I said I accessed them on the DX from Archived Items. I sent them from the Personal Documents section of the Amazon site to my DX, just as reprep did.

That clears a few things. I can confirm documents sent to your kindle DXG's mail address (free.kindle.com or kindle.com it doesn't matter) are saved in your personal documents folder in amazon.com unless you have disabled archiving personal documents. you can then send your documents to your kindle DXG from the personal documents page by choosing send to. option via 3G even if the whispernet 3g delivery option is off.

Unfortunately there is no way to automatically send the document to your kindle DXG unlike kindle 3s. You have to manually choose the documents you want to send.

It is still useful as it is now. I mail whatever i want from my calibre library and then send them from amazon page thus freeing myself from the cable.
