How to send PDF files to Amazon Kindle devices to read them like a book

Get a PDF on Kindle.

Amazon's e-readers are great for more than just books; you can also send a PDF to your Kindle, granting you easy access to research papers, important paperwork or unpublished works.

While you can transfer files via USB cable by dragging and dropping the relevant files into Kindle > Documents, if you're often finding yourself on the go and need to send documents from your mobile or laptop to your Amazon Kindle, there's an alternative route that, in the long run, might save a few headaches. It is, however, a little fiddly to set up for the first time, but if you've purchased one of the best Kindles, the method we've detailed below means you can use it for far more than leisurely reading. This method works for other document types too, including Word documents, JPEG, PNG and GIF files.
