Tuesday tip: Getting your personal documents onto your Kindle

Today's tip: What's the best way to get my documents onto my Kindle?

The easiest way to transfer files to your Kindle from your PC or Mac is using the send to Kindle app which allows you to simply right click on any file and then send it to any one of your devices, giving it the name and author name that you want - you have to put your Amazon account details in the first time.

Otherwise, you can use the personal document service and send it via your personal Kindle address or transfer it via USB. The instructions for doing either of those are found here, including a list of compatible file types.
