📚 Buy my new book, 22 Tiny Lessons That Changed My Life In 2022: geni.us/DSY1GqG
In this video, I show you the new (and best) way to send PDFs, EPUBs, or any other personal document to your Kindle using the new Send to Kindle website.
Send to Kindle Website: www.amazon.com...
Hi there!
It’s great to meet you 🥰
My name is Maneetpaul Singh, but my friends call me Maneet (pronounced muh-neet). I'm a bookworm from Connecticut who loves tech. When I bought my first e-reader in 2020, I began reading more than I ever had before. I’ve made it my mission to help people fall in love with reading through Book Tech.
Think of me like the MKBHD of books.
There are three things I want you to know.
(1) If you'd like to read a new nonfiction book with me every month, join my book club with a community of 1,000+ bookworms: go.maneetpaul....
(2) If you’re struggling to build a daily reading habit and want to know how I became a bookworm, check out my short book titled Just One More Chapter: geni.us/GQX7rKe
(3) If you just want to chat, email me anytime [e-mail]. I personally respond to every email.
Thanks so much for being here.
Happy reading!

If you are here and you send an epub to your Kindle and the send-to-kindle fails,to send your file to your Kindle, convert the epub to Mobi and from Mobi to epub and send it again. It works. I don't know why, but it works. You are welcome.

[@Nari_D]

You're an angel! It worked!! I've had these books for so long could never transfer them till now! Thank you!! It's so annoying that we have to do this though😑😔

Oh Man you are Genius Thanks for saving life

[@Maneetpaul]

Shocked that nobody has commented about the llama with reading glasses on my sweater 😂

[@neilwick5219]

I was too distracted with the blue and green sweater having red sleeves to notice the llama with reading glasses, but now that you mention it, it couldn't be more appropriate.

[@blubblubblubblubb]

Your great sweater was the first thing I noticed! 😁

[@rohitwadhwa2439]

Hello Brother..I have a Question go you and I'd really Glad if you could Answer it. In The Year 2021 and 2022 I bought lots of Physical Book's and Never really looked into this Kindle Tablets and all..Now That I feel Interested in and I have So many EPUB Book's I Added to My Google Play Book's..They work Just fine.. Now I'm planning to Buy this Kindle Tablet and I'm really thinking about some Money Saving.. Are these Epub Book's that I download from Z Library and Lib..Would they work fine Just as those Amazon Book's on Kindle Device.. Because that would be a Life saver..I don't want My Device to be Messed up or Chances of any Virus or malfunction to it if I do that..

[@suze1958wilde]

Great sweater. Thought I was getting Christmas all over again. Love yr videos. Very helpful. Thanks!

[@monochromios]

"Where did you get it?" "Is there a version with a dog reading?" Are available questions?

[@LearningandTechnology]

Excellent video! I had planned to let my own audience know about the new way of doing this - but I just told them to watch THIS video! The new way is SO much easier.

[@bennyvallejoa.1012]

You’re a star mate, I was struggling to send/upload several books to my kindle via email and It was starting to get tedious, thank you for this

[@spocksvulcanbrain]

It would be very helpful if you went over the best way to format the file before you make the PDF. I get the fact that sending it over is now easy but sounds like the formatting should be reviewed closely first. Can you create a video about that? Exactly what formatting is optimal? How about the table of contents, Title pages, graphics/artwork and book cover? How are those done?

[@Maneetpaul]

I haven't experimented with this too much myself. But from what I can tell, having a TOC and other front matter is not a problem. Where things got a bit weird for me was when I added a header/footer to every page. Thanks for the video idea, I'll keep that in mind for the future!

[@Ali-gv1yw]

Oh thank you a lot! Didnt know there was a 'Send to kindle' website! I used the e-mail method, i.e. sending files on to my kindle mail adress which converter them automaticly.

[@cornellpidruchney1226]

Thank you for this buddy, it worked PERFECTLY and was soooo easy!!! Super helpful!! 😊❤

life saver, i was doing the whole email thing but i have a fire, which didnt work well with the email because it didnt show up in kindle devices... honestly no idea... anyways this was so helpful it works in like 10 seconds . thanks man

[@expresschecks1]

Thank you Maneetpaul Singh...your message was very helpfull.... finally after 3 or 4 years bought a New Kindle and really wanted an easier way to get my .pdf files on it....perfect!. NOTE: Of the two types to Upload - PDF or Micro Word Files -- Word is better you have more control over Font size and position when using Kindle...I tried both - thanks again!

[@matthewevans2831]

How do you get the book covers to appear when you are downloading a book from the internet?

Thank you for this Maneetpaul! I’ve been puzzled about how to load documents and such with Amazon’s new guidelines.

[@scottshort9931]

[@delsmontgomery]

Hi Scott, do you know if the epub formatting gets distorted on the kindle? Or does the kindle keep the formatting perfectly?

[@sanjaykhosla4245]

amazing Bro i did,pdf doesnt come easily but epub,mobi automatically corrected and and above all the relevant fonts and bold options also done ....Matter of max 1min. only .... Thank Bro😅😅😅😅😅👍👍👌🙏🙏

Maneetpaul! Love that sweater! And great product placement in the first minute or two. :) Somehow I missed, or forgot, the pdf trick. The link you mentioned doesn’t show up on the screen on my phone (nor do any ads) but I’ll track it down.

It’s possible that the website isn’t available in your country yet. But definitely do a little digging to confirm

[@Guallow]

Does this mean that if you buy a book, an EPub file from a webside, that you now can read it on a kindle without problems. I’m new to the whole ereader world and thought about buying a kindle paperwhite but then heard that you couldn’t read any other books than the ones kindle offer on their bookstore… Isn’t that the case anymore?

[@laurahicks5083]

It’s my understanding that kindle doesn’t support epubs with DRM. If it’s an epub without DRM, it should work. I’d assume many EPUBs you bought would have some sort of DRM on them though. In that case, you’d have to use adobe digital editions to transfer them onto an ereader. Adobe digital editions isn’t compatible with kindle devices. For what it’s worth, I think a kobo would be the best device in that case.

[@monastery-i5d]

Wonderful as always. Thank you.

I have to test this method next time I read a PDF. And I have a question. Do you know any day with kindle discount, besides the prime days? Last year on prime days I brought a Kindle for my dad and now I also want one but I don’t wanna wait until prime days this year..

[@Maneetpaul]

They have sales randomly during the year! But the best sales are on Prime Day and Black Friday.

[@thebookishdad]

What about covers? I tried to send a public domain epub and get the generic cover..I was thinking they'd have updated it to show covers to by now?

[@Maneetpaul]

Yeah, I heard this was updated too, but it sounds like it depends on the book/file. I did try this with my own book, and it showed the cover as an ePub on my Kindle.

[@YoHo18]
