Each device has a Kindle email address associated with it, even if they’re registered with one Kindle account. We recommend you save the email address somewhere you can easily find it, as you don’t want to go through the hassle of finding your Kindle email every time.

Approving Your Email Address

You can’t just use any email to send your PDF to your Kindle. It must be approved so that when Kindle receives the file from the address, it knows what to do with it. Ensure the email you input for approval is the one you plan to send your PDF from, or else it won’t work.

Step1

Again, go to “Preferences” on the top bar.

Step2

Select “Personal Document Settings.”

Step3

Scroll down the menu and select “Approved Personal Document E-mail List.”

This list contains email addresses that can send documents to your Kindle. To enter a new email address, select “Add a new approved email address.”
