![]() The page is called, "Manage Your Kindle." There you will find a list of email addresses for each of your Kindle devices. You can also find this email address on the Kindle setup page on the website. Go to the settings of your Kindle device or app and look for the Kindle email address. This works with the Kindle and the Kindle Apps. The simplest way to add a book to your Kindle library is to email the book to your Kindle device. I will break this guide up into six sections: Email, The Kindle, Kindle for the Desktop, Kindle for the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch, Kindle for Android, and Other. This page will be a guide to assist you in putting a MOBI file in your Kindle Library to read on your Kindle or using your Kindle software. Recently, I have included a Kindle-friendly formatted file of the RCV on the Download page. Pro Tip: While you’re here, please don’t miss our extensive Mac help area.MOBI Files Home > Menu > Articles > How to Add a MOBI File to Your Kindle Library Want to permanently change the default app for a specific document type, though? You can do that too, as I explain in this tutorial: Change Default File App on MacOS X. That’s the basics of using Open With on your Mac. Where’d the missing page go? Probably just a layout artifact, but weird, eh? In the Kindle app, however, it has 135 (shown on the very bottom of the image above). Also an oddity: In Preview, the PDF was gauged to have 136 pages. The Kindle app also understands the table of contents in this particular PDF, but be warned: Not every PDF has a TOC so you might just be going page to page to page to find specific content on your own PDF. As you’d hope, you can now read the doc within the Kindle app itself: The Mac will open up the Kindle for Mac application, then hand it the PDF. It’s a long list, even with some confusing duplication, but you can see that “ Kindle” showed up and is selected. It’s a bit confusing because the submenu slide out on the left side, not the right, but the main context menu is on the right and I choose “ Open With” which (after a moment or two, typically) brought up a list of all programs and applications on my system that can handle PDF documents. Instead of just double-clicking on the icon on your Desktop, use the Control-Click instead to pop up a context menu of options: Quite good with Portable Document Format (PDF) docs, and the smart table of contents is hugely beneficial in navigating a big document like this user’s guide, which is 136 pages (as shown on the very top line).īut you want to use the Kindle for Mac app instead. Sometimes the wrong app gets associated with a filetype too – like “Preview” for GIF images, rather than a graphics editor – so this will also help with that too.įirst off, here’s my sample PDF document, the user’s guide for the Kodak Pixpro AZ652:ĭouble-click and it opens up in Preview, which is a surprisingly sophisticated PDF reader with lots of features: Knowing about this makes life so much easier, so you can choose between opening a graphic in a graphics editor or Web browser, for example, or a document in the creating app or a viewer. There’s a more fundamental feature in MacOS X that is your friend, however, and that’s what I want to highlight in this response: The “Open With…” option. Linux? Well, that’s apparently not quite as good but my guess is that most people running Linux are also toting an Android tablet or similar, so perhaps it’s not such a big deal. It’s easy to forget that Amazon‘s domination of the ebooks world with the Kindle includes not just a physical product line and apps that work great on iOS and Android tablets, but also Kindle apps that run on the Mac and Windows computer too.
