Question

Can I change the type size of PDFs exported to Kindle?

Community Answer

No. A PDF is an external source file. You can only zoom in or out on the PDF file. However, if you use the 'send to Kindle' option from your registered email ID, you then can change the font size of your converted PDF file in AZW format.

To transfer a 55MB how-to guide to the Kindle app, you can email it to your Kindle address with "Convert" in the subject line, transfer it via USB by connecting your Kindle to a computer and dragging the file to the "Documents" folder, or upload it to a cloud service and use the "Open With" option to open it in the Kindle app.

Question

How do I send a file to my Kindle from my phone if it's too large to email?

Mr c

Top Answerer

If your file is too large to email, you can upload it to a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox, then download it on your Kindle and open it with the Kindle app. Alternatively, use a USB OTG cable to transfer the file via a USB stick from your phone to your Kindle. Another option is to use the "Send to Kindle" app available for Android and iOS to send the file directly to your Kindle device.

Question

My file is larger than 25MB, so I have to send it via a Google Drive link. How can I view it on my Kindle?

Top Answerer

Download the file to your computer or mobile device. Be sure the format is compatible with Kindle, such as PDF, MOBI, or AZW. If not, use a converter like Calibre to change it to MOBI or AZW3. Use Amazon’s "Send to Kindle" service by emailing the file to your Kindle’s email address or uploading it via the Kindle app or USB cable. Sync your Kindle to see the file in your library.

Question

Can I send a file to my Kindle using a mobile device instead of a computer?

Snakey006550

Top Answerer

You can use a mobile device to send a file to your Kindle. Download the file to your mobile device, ensure it's in a Kindle-compatible format (PDF, MOBI, or AZW), and use the Kindle app to upload it by tapping "More," then "Send to Kindle." Alternatively, email the file to your Kindle's email address from your mobile device.
