How to Send Documents to Kindle
You have a work report, a research paper, class notes, or a manual — and you'd rather read it on your Kindle than a screen. DropKind handles whatever format it's in and delivers it wirelessly.

What happens with each format
PDF — sent to your Kindle as-is by default. If you prefer reflowable text with adjustable fonts, you can enable PDF-to-EPUB conversion in your settings. Great for papers, manuals, and ebooks.
EPUB — Kindle supports EPUB natively since 2022. Sent as-is with full formatting. No need to convert to MOBI anymore.
DOCX — Amazon converts Word documents server-side into Kindle format automatically. Text reflows, fonts adjust, headings become chapters. See our Word document guide for details on what carries over.
RTF, TXT, HTML — also converted server-side. Reads like a native Kindle book.
Images (PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP) — sent directly. Useful for diagrams, scanned pages, or photos you want to view on e-ink.
When Kindle is the right tool
Kindle is best for long-form reading — anything you'd otherwise print or read linearly. Research papers, reports, draft manuscripts, technical documentation, legal contracts, meeting notes. It's not ideal for spreadsheets, presentations, or documents you need to annotate collaboratively. For those, a tablet or laptop is still better.
Frequently Asked Questions
What file formats can I send?
PDF, EPUB, DOCX, TXT, RTF, HTM, HTML, and image formats (PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP). Covers most documents you'll encounter.
Will tables and images come through?
Yes. Images are preserved across all formats. Tables work well in DOCX and HTML. In PDFs, tables are part of the fixed layout. With EPUB conversion, simple tables are preserved but complex multi-column layouts may reflow.
What's the maximum file size?
DropKind supports files up to 15 MB. Most documents are well within this limit.
Can I send documents from Google Drive or Dropbox?
Yes — download the file from Google Drive or Dropbox first, then upload it to DropKind. This works reliably with any format.
