Short version: If you send a third-party mobi book to your kindle, it will sync between Kindle apps, but only if they are on a Kindle, iOS or Android device the cloud reader and PC applications (maybe Mac, too?) will not have the book or its associated notes/highlights. I then went to my iPad (without sending the book there explicitly) and it was there with my highlights again. I picked my iPhone, and sure enough the book appeared there with my highlights (yay!). All you need to do is download the Kindle app and sign in with your Amazon account. This brought up a window with a drop-down list of all my devices - except my Kindle for PC or the Amazon Cloud Reader were greyed out. Yes, you can transfer books from Apple Books to Kindle. I then clicked on the action button next to my book and clicked the Deliver to: Others link. The book did not appear under books, but DID appear under Docs. I called Amazon support and here's what we learned: we went to Manage Your Content and Devices and clicked on YOur Content. I started to worry at this point, thinking that I only ever have access to my highlights on the Kindle device itself. I also checked my history of highlights at and they were not there either. However, I discovered that the book did not appear on my Kindle for PC. I made many highlights (as I often do), and I wanted to see those highlights on my PC to prepare some teaching notes. It was delivered to my device right away, and I happily read it. I used the Send to Kindle application on my PC to send it to my Kindle device (strangely, by Kindle for PC was not on the list of options - more on this later). You can use Calibre or other online tools to convert files or books to supported Kindle formats.I purchased an ebook in Mobi format from a seller other than Amazon. Connect your Kindle to your PC, open the Kindle's file directory, and drag and drop files into the "documents" folder. You can also transfer files over USB if you don't have Wi-Fi connectivity. The existing MOBI and AZW files on your Kindle will remain accessible and work just fine, but you won't be able to send books in these formats using Send-To-Kindle anymore. Kindle supports a wide variety of files types, including:Īmazon has dropped support for MOBI and AZW formats since they don't support new Kindle features such as custom fonts and the ability to change boldness. Step 2: Open the web content on Google Chrome itself. For this, simply add "Convert" in the subject line when emailing the file, and Amazon will handle the rest. Step 1: Download and install the 'Send to Kindle' app Mac for your Google Chrome. The second is to convert the PDF to the Kindle format. You can send the file as it is, which will preserve the original formatting and graphics, but you won't be able to use variable fonts or Whispersync. Tip: If you're sending a PDF file, you have two options.
