Personal Documents

How can I download personal documents sent to my Kindle? I have looked at the Manage Device and Settings but there is not a way to download any documents I have. This stuff it not even in my Amazon Cloud documents.

Thanks but I did not make myself clear. I want/need to download the files to my computer.

I don't think there is a way to download them directly to a PC. You'd have to download them to a Kindle device and then connect that to a PC and copy them off that way.

EDIT: I take that back. I couldn't download them from Manage Your Content and Devices, but I went to https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive and all of the stuff I've sent to Kindle (only a few docs from way back) are found there in a folder called My Send-to-Kindle Docs and can be downloaded there.

I believe that Amazon stopped making new personal documents available via Amazon Drive some time ago. I add personal documents all the time via email, but the most recent one in my Amazon Drive is from April 2016.

This is the document Amazon put in my Cloud Drive storage on 17 April 2016:

Quote:

Notice from Amazon Cloud Drive About Send to Kindle
Hello,
Starting on April 14, 2016, personal documents sent to your registered Fire tablets, Kindle e-readers, and Kindle reading
apps using Send to Kindle will no longer be automatically added to your Amazon Cloud Drive account. While Send to
Kindle services will continue to deliver your documents to your registered Fire tablets, Kindle e-readers, and Kindle reading
apps, it will now archive your documents only to your Kindle Library.
You’ll still be able to read your existing personal documents on your registered Fire tablets, Kindle e-readers, and Kindle
reading apps and all of your currently stored personal documents that are in your Cloud Drive will remain there. However,
any changes you make to personal documents currently stored in your Cloud Drive will only be reflected in your Amazon
Cloud Drive and in the corresponding documents on supported Fire tablets, which are visible in the Docs tab. They will
not be reflected in the Manage Your Content and Devices page and any documents delivered from there.
You can view and manage your Send to Kindle documents by going to Manage Your Content and Devices
(www.amazon.com/mycd).
To learn more about Send to Kindle, go to:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/sendtokindle
Sincerely,
Amazon Cloud Drive

I can imagine that you can still pull the document from the device (at least a Kindle device), but there's no way to download any longer.

Thanks everyone. Guess I will wait to download until I can find my Kindle Keyboard.
