    A: We recommend emailing the MOBI file to your Kindle email address. This way, it will be uploaded to the cloud and automatically download onto your device. (For the Kindle for Mac app, see next question.)

    1. Go to Amazon's Manage Your Kindle: Manage Your Content and Devices.

    2. Select the device you want to read on and find the email in the device summary. This is your Kindle email address.

    3. Email the MOBI version of the eBook to your Kindle email address.
    4. After a few minutes, refresh and the eBook should show up in your library. (If not, check your Amazon email address to see if you were sent a security verification email asking you to confirm you are attempting to send the eBook.)

    Note: The eBook file must be sent from an email address on your Amazon "Approved Personal Document E-mail List." You can add an email address to the list on Amazon's Manage Your Content and Devices >> Preferences. Find the Approved Documents List under Personal Document Settings
     

     

    If you are using an iOS device you can:

    1. Find the downloaded MOBI file on your Files app.

     

    2. Long press the file and select "Share".

     

    3. Select the Kindle App and follow instructions to send to your Kindle.

    Q: How can I read my eBook on my Mac? / Why is my MacBook Kindle app crashing when I try to open my eBook?
