Send to Kindle showing as Doc not Ebook

moosklenom · 04-24-2019, 07:40 AM

Hi there

First time poster!

I'm using Calibre to convert epub to mobi, then sending to my kindle email address. The problem I have is when they arrive, they arrive as 'doc' files not books. So they don't appear on the kindle app on my mac, but do on my kindle/ipad etc. I have changed the mobi output setting to [EBOK].

Is there anything I need to do?

Cheers

When you use send to kindle amazon autmatically reprocesses the file to make it a personal doc. If you dont want that, your only recourse is to send via USB cable or content server.

Thanks for the reply...How do I get it on my kindle with the content server?

Cheers

Use the (experimental) WEB browser built into your kindle.
BTW Kindle is way too generic. please add the model# to the device name. They are all different. I have a K4nt (non-touch) which is different from a K4 (touch)
