Send to Kindle App

Sydney's Mom · 04-20-2016, 02:44 PM

Is there a way to use the Send to Kindle app when you are in Calibre? I can do it from my tablet if I happened to leave content server on (which I don't) and the email gets stopped by Amazon.

Thanks,

Debra

What do you mean by "the email gets stopped by Amazon"? Have you added the "from" address to the list of allowed emails?

Oh yes. I get an email that says they can only convert X books. My email is registered for my kindle. This has been happening for about a year. It was suggested we get another email (I use google for Calibre), but that didn't work either.

What is "X'?

Are you sending the wrong format?
Is it still DRM infested?

Or is X really N, where you exceeded their limit for N?

I was told that no math would be required on this forum!

We lied.

@Sydney's Mom,
As theducks said -- what is the exact error email you got? I don't recall anyone else getting a "you have too many books, we won't let you send more" complaint.
But just in case, how many PDOCs do you have in your Kindle Cloud?

That is the generic "there was an error, but we won't tell you what error".

I will assume you can open the referenced MOBI all right in calibre's E-Book Viewer.
So... what is the filesize of the emailed file?

Sydney's Mom · 04-26-2016, 02:24 PM

6,005 kb

theducks · 04-26-2016, 03:11 PM

It may be a mislabeled (filetype) mobi
It may be your ISP cleaned your file

There may be remnants of DRM left in the file.

The problem is the Generic: 'It is Broken' message

I always download epub, and convert to mobi.

Sydney's Mom · 04-27-2016, 12:29 PM

I downloaded and installed Send to Kindle (takes some fiddling, with Windows 10), and then I discovered it doesn't work for mobi (or AZW). I guess Calibre companion, using bookmarks and sorting by read, is the best way to get books on your SD card.

Why do you think it doesn't work with mobi or AZW? It's always worked with those formats for me.
