Question:


A friend emailed a file to my @Kindle.com address but the file did not appear in my Kindle content. What happened to it?

This could be because the email account used to send the file is not authorised to send files to your Kindle account.

Once you have logged in to Manage My Kindle, 

  1. Click on 'Personal Document Settings' on the left hand column.

  3. Click Add a new approved email address
