Personal documents in file formats not automatically recognized by Kindle (1st Generation) may be converted to a Kindle-recognized format using e-mail. E-mail an attachment to a Kindle e-mail address and Amazon will convert the file and deliver it to your Kindle (1st Generation) or back to your computer.
The following file formats can be converted via e-mail for viewing on Kindle (1st Generation):
- Microsoft Word (.DOC)
- Structured HTML (.HTML, .HTM)
- RTF (.RTF)
- JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG)
- GIF (.GIF)
- PNG (.PNG)
- BMP (.BMP)
To have your documents delivered to your Kindle (1st Generation), attach any compatible file format to a new e-mail message and send it to your Kindle's e-mail address.

To send and convert your personal documents:
- Open a new e-mail message in your e-mail client.
- Check to make sure the "From" address is on your approved e-mail address list.
- Enter the desired Kindle e-mail address in the "To" field. Use the "name"@kindle.com address for wireless delivery, or "name"@free.kindle.com for free delivery to the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account.
- Attach your document or documents to the e-mail message. If you are sending multiple files, you can compress them into a .ZIP file.
- Send the e-mail with attachments. A subject line is not needed.
- Personal documents below 5 MB in officially supported file formats are typically delivered to the "name"@free.kindle.com e-mail address within 5 minutes (per document). Personal documents above 5 MB may take longer.
- Personal documents below 5 MB in officially supported file formats are typically ready for wireless auto-delivery to your Kindle within 5 minutes (per document), not including actual wireless download time, which will vary with file size. Personal documents above 5 MB may take longer.
- Personal documents in experimental file formats (such as pdf files) may take longer.
- Your e-mail provider may have additional limitations on file size.
You should receive by email something that look like this:
