Amazon Kindle for e-book reading has been a very compatible device for those who love to read. The Kindle app, on the other hand, will let you use a similar experience on your phone or tablet. Also, this is a must to mention that Kindle has the versatility to display various document types, including PDFs to view e-books. This is important because PDF books are a widespread format for reports, documents, guides and even for older books- out of which, many are freely available. So converting PDF for Kindle is a direct process to facilitate the ‘Send to Kindle’ service from Amazon.
This service is accessible from any web browser, through email or devices operating on Android or iOS.
Here in this article, we will be guiding you on how to use this service effectively.
