Once transferred, the PDF will be listed in the home page as one of the documents / books. The left hand side of the document name will also mark as “PDF”. Hope it helps.

The information is really good but how do you open to read the files once you have transferred them using the USB? Help please. I need to read these files on the kindle.

Hi Melissa,

Indeed a 22 MB file may be too big, even you can transfer it to your Kindle, the load time of the PDF file will be very slow in your Kindle. One way to transfer this big file to your Kindle is to use the USB transfer method (i.e. just copy it from your PC to your Kindle, once connected with USB cable).

If the file is too big, on the other hand, you can split it into multiple smaller files and then send / transfer to your Kindle again. Assuming your PDF file is not password protected, you can “print” your PDF part by part to create new PDF files (e.g. page 1-20 to file1, page 21-40 to file2 etc.). To do this, you require Acrobat Writer, or freeware like PDF995, or PDFill.

Hope it helps.

I am trying to e-mail a pdf document to my amazon kindle website to have transfered to my Kindle and apparently the file is too large to e-mail (it’s 22 MB). The e-mail was returned as undeliverable. How can I get around this?
