How to Add PDF Files to Kindle

There are several reading devices on the market, which allow the user to add their books and have them anywhere, without taking up space. The most popular of these is the Amazon e-reader. For students, or anyone else who needs it, the Kindle is also a good choice for adding PDF files.

By cell phone, it is possible to send the PDF to the Kindle, whether on devices with the Android or iOS operating system. The same is possible to do through tablets. You can also use Google Drive and share files with the e-reader via email.

First, you need to download the Kindle app on your smartphone and log in to your account. It is available on both the Play Store and the App Store. Oh, and, in the case of Amazon's e-reader, you don't need to convert the file, which happens on other reading devices, as the app itself takes care of that. You can also send texts from Word.
