The Kindle Personal Document Service can convert and deliver the following types of documents:

Adobe PDF (.pdf) documents are delivered without conversion to Kindle DX, Second Generation and Latest Generation Kindles.

Adobe PDF (.pdf) can be converted to Kindle format and delivered on an experimental basis.

This is the error message I get when I try to send the book to kindle.

If the document that failed belonged to one of the above document types, please ensure the document is not password protected or encrypted. Note that the Latest Generation Kindles support password protected PDFs.

Helpful tips for personal document attachments:

The file size of each attached personal document should be less than 50MB (before compression in a ZIP file)

The email submitted should not contain more than 25 attached personal documents

Hello @evalparse and welcome!

The EPUB version of the book is just around the corner and will be available in a day, or two (or so). Will that work for you?

I’ve also heard that converting EPUB to Kindle format is quite straightforward, so I’m investigating how to do that.

Based on the number of requests I can clearly say that Kindle will be one of the supported formats on the release day.

I have just sent an email update to all readers with download link for EPUB and MOBI versions of the draft, so check it out!
