Users of Amazon’s Kindle app on iOS can now have documents delivered via email, a feature that has been available for some time for Kindle device users. This how-to goes over the basics of emailing a file to your Kindle or Kindle app.

Amazon Personal Document
For a while now, Kindle users have been able to email personal documents directly to their devices. Now, Amazon has extended that support to anyone with the latest version of the Kindle iOS app. Upon updating, we were able to get everything from photos to game manuals on an iPhone 4S. Sending a document takes a little setup, but it’s easy to do and supports a range of file types.
Before doing anything else, you’ll want to make sure that the Kindle or app you’re using is registered with your Amazon account. If you’ve signed in with your Amazon account, it should be. Once that’s covered, it’s just a matter of going through the following steps:
1. Register your email address
Only email addresses that you pre-approve can send documents to your reader. This has to be done on Amazon’s website — yes, we know it would make sense to be able to do it from the app, but that’s just not how this works. Go to “Manage Your Kindle” under your account settings, and under “Approved Personal Document E-mail List,” add the email address you want to send from. Once it’s saved once, you can use it for any device.
2. Check your Kindle address
On the same page as your approved address list, you’ll see a section called “Send-to-Kindle E-Mail Settings.” This is where you’ll see the addresses for your individual devices, likely something like [youraccountname]@kindle.com. Clicking “Edit” next to any device will let you customize the address for it. This information can also be found on individual devices; on iOS, for example, you can open the Kindle app and go to the “Docs” tab to see the email.
3. Enable archiving (optional)
If you just want to quickly send a document to your phone or Kindle, you can skip this step. If you want to keep an online library of your documents, however, you’ll want to check the “Personal Document Archiving” section of the page and make sure that archiving is enabled. After you’ve emailed a document, it will show up in the “Personal Documents” page of your online Kindle library, and can be resent to other devices.
4. Send your document
With your settings tweaked, it’s time to send the document. Create an email to [youraccountname]@kindle.com, and add the documents as attachments. Make sure it’s one of the supported file types found here — most documents and images will be all right, although PDFs are still listed as “experimental.” Multiple files can be either sent as separate attachments to the same email or attached as a single zip file. If you want to have a file converted into Amazon’s .azw format, put “convert” in the subject line.
5. Check your app or Kindle
Open the Kindle library on your device or app and refresh to check for your document. Any single non-PDF file under 5MB should arrive within five minutes; outside that, you’ll be looking at increasingly longer times. Once you’ve received a document, bookmarks and other changes will sync across the iOS app just as they do on the Kindle.

Just lately, I seem to have come across a number of people who have been scratching their heads, wondering how to get their notes and highlights off their Kindle/Kindle app. It’s not hard, I promise. Hopefully, these step-by-step tips will help.
Let’s start with the Kindle app. I’ll start with that because the app has less functionality than the actual Kindle. You can add highlights or notes to the book text on your Kindle app simply by selecting the word/phrase/paragraph. Once selected, you will automatically be given four options:
All your highlights or notes will then appear in a list to the left of the text:
Okay. So now you want to save these for future reference. Go to then click on Your Highlights (you may be asked to sign into your Amazon account at some point):
And you will see all your highlights or notes for each of your books:
You can then select and copy whatever you want from there (or do a screenshot, or use the snipping tool). They can be pasted into an email/Word doc/whatever.
Right, so let’s move on to the Kindle. First connect your Kindle to your PC. Locate the Kindle directory and then find the Documents folder.
There you will find a file called My Clippings.
Open this file up (it will probably launch in Notepad), and you will find all your notes and highlights.
Select your required text (or use Control A if you want to select the whole lot). Open up a new document in Word. Control V for paste and the text will look like this:
You can then save this document for future reference, or if you want to share it with someone by email, just attach the document as you would normally. (You can of course use the same method as with the Kindle app and just go to Your Highlights.) Personally, I find this way, for the Kindle, easier and more convenient. If you haven’t cleared out your My Clippings for a while and have a number of books’ highlights/notes, it is little easier to navigate to your chosen book, than trying to find the book and its highlights online, where all highlights and notes of all your books will be listed.
Et voilà! That, as they say, is all there is to it. There is only one option for the Kindle app, but you have a choice of two with the actual Kindle, so try both methods out and see which one suits you best.
While its fairly easy to add a web bookmark shortcut to the home screen on most android systems, there doesn’t seem to be a way to do this on the amazon kindle fire. Usually chrome or firefox is used to create the link on other android systems, but the Silk web browser doesn’t seem to have this capability. I don’t think its possible to install chrome or firefox on a kindle fire out-of-the-box without doing some fancy editing.
What’s the simplest way to add a web link to the home page of an amazon kindle fire? Is it even possible?
Preferable I want to avoid doing any kind of jail break on the phone as possible and I’d also like to avoid installing any non-free, invasive apps if possible.

Downloading Chome does not fix this problem. There is still no option to add a bookmark to the home screen. I’m looking at the Fire tablet, next to my Galaxy, both in Chrome. The option in just plain nonexistent on the Fire
Option 1. To add a web shortcut to the home screen, save a webpage as a bookmark, then go to your bookmarks, press and hold the one you want, and select ‘add to home screen’ (I’m not sure this works for newer Kindles, though)
Option 2. Download chrome browser. This process is very simple, and doesn’t require root, or any code.
First, allow downloads from ‘unknown sources’
From the Fire, go to: “Settings” > “Security” > “Apps From Unknown Sources” > “On“.
Reading PDF files on Kindle devices is one of the best things you can do with your Amazon ereader – but the process is quite fiddly, which is why we’ve drawn up a guide on how to do it.
If you flesh out your Kindle with PDF documents you can read your own books that aren’t on the Amazon Kindle store, as well as work documents, design sheets, university reading materials and more – though, don’t forget, Kindle screens only show things in black and white
The process of converting PDF to Kindle devices is a tiny bit fiddly to begin with, but once you’ve got your head around it, it’s pretty easy to do in the future. Plus, this method actually works for other document types including Word documents, JPEGs, PINGs and GIFs.
Below, you’ll find a quick-guide on getting PDFs on Amazon Kindle ereaders, but below that, we’ll go into detail on each of the stages to hold your hand through the process. We’ve also got guides on connecting your Kindle to the internet, and also how to buy, download and lend Kindle books if you don’t need PDFs.
PDF to Kindle: the basics
- Ensure your file is a PDF
- Find your Kindle email address
- Get your personal email address approved
- Send your PDF file to your Kindle
- Sync your Kindle

Before we begin, you should make sure the file you’re trying to convert is compatible with the Kindle – so it should be a PDF or .doc, .html or similar – we’ll list the full compatibility list to the side, courtesy of Amazon.
If you’re not sure the file format of your file, right click it on your computer and select ‘Properties’ – here you’ll see the type, so you can see if it’s right or not.
The compatible file types cover most formats you’re likely using, but if you find the document you want on your Kindle isn’t compatible, there are a few ways to convert it. In the program it typically opens into, like Microsoft Word for .doc files or an image editing apps for .PNG ones, select ‘Save As’, and in the drop-down menu, see if any of the compatible options are available.
If not, you could try a PDF converter tool. There are plenty of great paid options and a few good free ones too, so check out our list of the best PDF editors for guidance.
Find your Kindle email address
To get a PDF on a Kindle, you’re going to need to know your Kindle’s email address. If that last clause makes no sense, don’t worry – not many people know, but your Kindle has its own bespoke email address, using which you can send files to it.
You’ll need to look up yours, as you’re not told when you set up your Kindle, but it’s little hassle. You’ll need to head over to the Amazon website and sign in first. Just note, the following steps are slightly different in different regions’ versions of Amazon – we’ll talk you through the US and UK guide, but if you’re in another country, you might have to hunt around for options a little more.
In the US, to the top-right of the main Amazon screen should be an option saying ‘Account and Lists’. Click this, then select ‘Your devices and content’, which was in the bottom-left for us. Now click ‘Manage Devices’.
In the UK, the ‘Account and Lists’ option should still be clicked to the top-right of the Amazon home page. From here, scroll past the ‘Your Account’ settings to the ‘Digital content and devices’ block to the left. In here, click ‘Content and devices’, and you’ll be in the same place as our US counterparts.
Now, you should see a list of the books you have assigned to your Kindle account – but that’s not what we’re looking for right now. Above this list, in a toolbar should be some options – you’ll currently be on ‘Content’, which should be followed by ‘Devices’, ‘Preferences’ and ‘Privacy Settings’. Click on ‘Devices’, and in the next menu, select the option for the Kindle you want the document on.
You’ll be brought to a Device Summary page which tells you your Kindle email as well as the type of device it is, and a few other things. What you’ll need here is your Kindle email address – save this somewhere you’ll be able to easily find it. We’d recommend saving it as a contact in your email app of choice, so you can email it at ease.
Approve your email address
Not just anyone can email your Kindle and have their PDFs accessible on the device – though you have your Kindle’s email address, you now need to approve your personal one, so that when the Kindle receives your PDF, it knows to download this.
Make sure the email you approve is the one you’re planning to send documents to your Kindle from otherwise it won’t work.
To approve your email address follow the steps as for finding your Kindle email address but instead of selecting ‘Devices’ in the top bar, click ‘Preferences’.
Scroll down this list until you find ‘Personal Document Settings’, and select this option so it expands into more options. From here, scroll down until you find ‘Approved Personal Document E-mail List’. This list will show people who can email stuff to your Kindle, and obviously you want to be on this VIP list.
Below the emails is an option to ‘Add a new approved e-mail address’, which you should, of course, select. Enter your email address and click ‘Add address’ to get yourself approved. If you have multiple email addresses that you could send PDFs to your Kindle from, you should add them all now.
Send your PDF to your Kindle
Now the hard work is out the way, simply head over to your email client of choice, attach the file to an email, and send the email to your Kindle email address.
You’re able to send multiple documents at once, so if you have loads of files you want on your Kindle, you don’t need to send separate emails.
It’s worth pointing out, that if you’re sending over a PDF file, you can actually ask Amazon to automatically convert the file into a Kindle one, which lets you annotate the sections and change font size. Simply put the word ‘convert’ as the subject line and the rest will be handled for you.
Once you’ve sent the file to your Kindle, you should be able to access the file straight away. If it doesn’t appear immediately firstly make sure the email has definitely sent, and that your Kindle is connected to the internet. If both of those are the case, you can Sync your Kindle which will likely help. Do this by going to the Kindle home page, pressing ‘settings’ and then ‘Sync Your Kindle’.

Amazon positions Kindle as a platform-agnostic service, one that can be accessed from virtually any device. There are official first-party apps for iOS, Android, Windows 8 and, of course, its own Kindle Fire line of devices.
But that’s not all.
Th e-tailing giant also offers a browser-based app called Kindle Cloud Reader (hosted at read.amazon.com) that works incredibly well on a Chromebook — including offline.
Logging into the cloud app with your Kindle/Amazon account lets you to access, download and read purchased items in your library, view bookmarks, notes and more.
And thanks to Amazon’s Whispersync technology you can even pick up on your Chromebook where you left off on another device!
How to Read Kindle Books on Chromebook
1. Kindle Cloud Reader app
The “app” — a bookmark to the website — is available to install from the Chrome Web Store for free: –
Once installed you can choose how it runs: in a new tab, as a pinned tab or in a standalone window. Since this app works well offline I like running it separate from Chrome. To do the same:
- Open the Chrome App Launcher
- Right-click on the Kindle Cloud Reader icon
- Select‘Open as window’
Next step is to go ahead and launch the app.
You’ll be asked to log in with your Amazon credentials. Do so to get to the main home screen. By default this opens on the ‘cloud’ tab, showing you all of your purchased titles.
To read an Amazon Kindle book offline on a Chromebook you need to ‘pin’ it in the app:-
- Open Kindle Cloud Reader
- Click the ‘Cloud’ button
- Right-click on a book and select ‘Download & Pin Book’
The item will proceed to download. If it’s a particularly lengthy title this might take some time.
Once completed you can switch to the ‘Download’ section of the reader app and click on the cover to open it. Don’t expect to see the contents page if you’ve been reading it on another device; it opens on the page you were last on.
Moving through pages is as simple as hitting the up or down arrows on your keyboard (or clicking/tapping the pagination arrows on screen).
The reading experience, such as font size, background colour, columns and margins can be customised. In the reader view simply mouse over the screen to reveal the toolbar, click the ‘Aa‘ icon, and configure away.
Once you’ve finished reading (or to free up space) you can unpin the book to remove it from your device (but not your account).
Kindle Cloud reader may be an old-school web-app, but in supporting offline reading, Whispersync and the ability to run windowed, it brings a reading experience to Chrome OS that’s just as seamless as that on other devices.
2. Kindle Android app
If your Chromebook supports Android apps —most do— you can use the full-featured Amazon Kindle app for Android.
Now, do note that Kindle Android app is not optimised for Chromebooks (or laptop screens in general). The UI feels clunky, even with touch — but hey, it works okay and has more features than the web-based reader, including notes and annotations.
Better still, all Kindle books can be “downloaded” to read offline using this app — and it’s automatic! Just start reading a title to have a copy stored for offline access.
Tip: if your Chromebook has a folding display you may prefer to “read” your books with the screen folded back and the device held in portrait mode.

If you had wondered if that NOOK $50 tablet was too good to be true, turns out you were right. Remember last month’s story on that ADUPS malware that was infecting the Blu R1 HD phones and sending data back to China? Yeah, that one. Well, as it turns out, the same malware is affecting the NOOK BNTV450. And, unlike the BLU scenario where an update was issued, 9 to 5 Google is reporting that there seems to be no way to disable the ADUPS on the NOOK device.
If you want the technical info on the malware, there’s a lot more information on the issue in the Linux Journal article that apparently broke the story. The article notes that Google has blacklisted the ADUPS agent and that a user can expect “zero privacy” from a device with this agent installed. Barnes and Noble has yet to comment on the story.
Since I bought one of these last month, I am not a happy camper. Although I hadn’t had time to do much with it (maybe a blessing in disguise), I was already past the 14 day return window that the online store allows. I have performed a factory reset on my device while I reach out to Barnes and Noble on the matter. I suggest you do the same or use at your own risk. While the ADUPS does not seem to be active at the moment, that can change at any time.
To reset the device, go to Apps> Settings>Backup and Reset. (Note that the correct one is the grey option that says just settings, not the green NOOK settings option.) Everything will be erased from the tablet, so make sure to transfer any files you want to keep.
More on this as it unfolds. I will update with any news from Barnes and Noble. I am off to change passwords. 😦

Presidential Address
FRENCH CROSSINGS: II. LAUGHING OVER BOUNDARIES
- Article
- Get access
Under the generic title, ‘French Crossings’, this Presidential Address explores the history of laughter in French society, and humour’s potential for trangressing boundaries. It focuses on the irreverent and almost entirely unknown book of comic drawings entitled Livre de caricatures tant Bonnes que mauvaises (Book of Caricatures, both Good and Bad), that was composed between the 1740s and the mid-1770s by the luxury Parisian embroiderer and designer, Charles-Germain de Saint-Aubin, and his friends and family. The bawdy laughter that the book seems intended to provoke gave it its nickname of the Livre de culs (Book of Arses). Yet despite the scatological character of many of the drawings, the humour often conjoined lower body functions with rather cerebral and erudite wit. The laughter provoked unsparingly targeted and exposed to ridicule the social elite, cultural celebrities and political leaders of Ancien Régime France. This made it a dangerous object, which was kept strictly secret. Was this humour somehow pre- or proto-Revolutionary? In fact, the work is so embedded in the culture of the Ancien Régime that 1789 was one boundary that the work signally fails to cross.

THINKING WITH BYZANTIUM*
- Article
- Get access
It is well known that the history of Byzantium does not fit comfortably with mainstream medieval history. This paper returns to the problem in the light of two recent, if opposing, historiographical trends: first, the emphasis on the Mediterranean as a unifying factor, and second, the turn towards the comparative history of western and eastern Eurasia. Neither emphasis accommodates Byzantium well, and it is argued that however difficult it may seem to some historians, any broad approach to medieval history will be inadequate if it does not make space for the history of Byzantium.

WHY WERE SOME TENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH KINGS PRESENTED AS RULERS OF BRITAIN?*
- Article
- Get access
Some tenth-century English kings, especially Æthelstan and Edgar, were commonly presented as rulers of Britain. The basic reason for this is that they had a loose but real hegemony over the other rulers on the island. This hegemony did not collapse in subsequent centuries, but English kings were less often described as rulers of Britain. The intensification of royal rule within the English kingdom in the second half of the tenth century made kings’ power inside the kingdom increasingly unlike their power elsewhere in Britain: it consequently became harder to think of Britain as a single political unit.

THE REFORMATION OF THE GENERATIONS: YOUTH, AGE AND RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN ENGLAND, c . 1500–1700
- Article
- Get access
This exploratory essay adopts the life-cycle as a tool with which to investigate religious change in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It examines how inherited tropes about youth and age were deployed and the ways in which the notion of generational strife was invoked at various stages of England’s long Reformation. These provide insight into how contemporaries understood and experienced the theological and cultural upheavals of the era and the process by which Protestantism ‘aged’ as it progressed beyond its unruly protest phase and became institutionalised as the official faith.
MARKETS AND CULTURES: MEDICAL SPECIFICS AND THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE BODY IN EARLY MODERN EUROPE
- Article
- Get access
The history of the body is of course contested territory. Postmodern interpretations in particular have moved it from a history of scientific knowledge of its structure and function toward histories of the various meanings, identities and experiences constructed about it. Underlying such interpretations have been large and important claims about the unfortunate consequences of the rise of a political economy associated with capitalism and medicalisation. In contradistinction, this paper offers a view of that historical process in a manner in keeping with materialism rather than in opposition to it. To do so, it examines a general change in body perceptions common to most of the literature: a shift from the body as a highly individualistic and variable subject to a more universal object, so that alterations in one person’s body could be understood to represent how alterations in other human bodies occurred. It then suggests that one of the chief causes of that change was the growing vigour of the market for remedies that could be given to anyone, without discrimination according to temperament, gender, ethnicity, social status or other variables in the belief that they would cure quietly and effectively. One of the most visible remedies of this kind was a ‘specific’, the Peruvian, or Jesuits’ bark. While views about specific drugs were contested, the development of a market for medicinals that worked universally helped to promote the view that human bodies are physiologically alike.
Harlequin has announces that they are changing ebook fulfillment providers in mid-November. If you’ve purchased books directly from Harlequin Books in the past, you may need to act quickly in order to download your titles, especially if you have an older device or one that is not web enabled.It seems after the provider changeover, old titles will no longer be able to be side.
Currently, you can continue to download your ebooks to the OverDrive app on your device or access them through the Read Now option as usual.
Once the new ereading experience launches, you will be able to read your ebooks through your Mac or PC web browser, iPhone, iPad, Android OS smartphones and tablets, Nook HD+, as well as the Kindle Fire HD line of tablets. The free reading app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Stores respectively.
*Requires Android 4.0.3 and above. *iOS 8.0 and above are only iOS versions supported.
It important to note that while the new ebook reading experience does support offline reading through the web browser and app, you will not be able to download files and transfer them to older devices that are not web enabled. If you would like to keep copies of the files for this use, please download them prior to November 12th, 2018.
When the new ereading experience launches, you’ll be notified and provided with instructions on how to access your ebooks in the new app.
Past purchases from the the Harlequin store are protect with Digital Rights Management from Adobe Digital Editions (ADE). These past purchases must be downloaded into the ADE software in order to be side-loaded into an e-ink e-reader. New purchases
This ONLY affects books purchased directly from Harlequin Books. Titles purchased through retailers like Amazon, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, etc. are not affected.
There are several interesting discussions on the topic on the MobileRead site that you can find here (starting at post #1662) and an entire thread dedicated to discussing the topic here. There is a lot of speculation about whether Harlequin is doing this as a cost-cutting measure and how this will play out as publishers are attempting to establish direct to consumer sales.
Halrlequin’s actions reinforce the concept that when you buy digital content, you do not own it. You are merely purchasing a license to use the content. The publisher can take the content away or alter your ability to access it. It also really emphasizes the down side of buying books protected by DRM.
Remember, you have until November 12, 2018 to download any purchased books!
