Earlier version of ‘What formats does the Kindle Support’ -
[ Down the line I want to change this into a 'how to get different formats onto the Kindle post - however holding off on that for a bit]
(from Computerworld) The Kindle can read only four text-document file formats:
-
.AZW (Kindle-specific)
-
.TXT
-
.MOBI; and
-
.PRC.
In addition, every Kindle gets its own e-mail address for receiving Amazon-converted documents for $.10 for wireless delivery to your kindle or free for delivery to an email address. Here’s how it works
-
For Free Conversions – Send email to
youraddr@free.kindle.comand the attachments will be converted and sent back in a reply email for free. They will be sent back to your email address and not to your Kindle. -
For .10$ Conversions that are sent wirelessly to your Kindle – Send email to
youraddr@kindle.comand attachments (including PDF) will be converted and wirelessly transmitted to your Kindle for $0.10. You set up your email address when you set up your Kindle; it has a whitelist of addresses that may send to it.
The supported document formats are
-
PDFs – This is Experimental.
-
Word
-
HTML
-
TXT
-
JPEG
-
GIF
-
PNG; and
-
BMP files. for 10 cents per document. You send the original to your Kindle’s address and your device receives the converted document (only e-mail addresses you authorize can send to your Kindle).
