Send to Kindle for PC
Send to Kindle for PC is Amazon’s free Windows application for personal documents. Version 1.1.1.260 runs on Windows 10 or later. After you install it and sign in, you can right-click a file in Explorer, drop it on the app, or choose Send to Kindle in a print dialog. Amazon’s help pages state there is no additional cost (0 USD).
Hover the panel, or turn on Show the send. A PDF and an EPUB move onto the paper display. On Windows, the real paths are Explorer, Drop files here, and the print dialog.
Send once, read anywhere
Personal documents and other files can be added to your Kindle library and read on a Kindle or in the Kindle app, with reading progress, notes, highlights, and bookmarks.
