Troubleshooting
"Book doesn't appear"
- Wait a few minutes for sync
- Check Wi-Fi connection on Kindle
- Verify you sent to the correct email
"Email rejected"
- Add your sending email to approved list in Amazon settings
- Check file size (under 50MB)
"Format not supported"
- Ensure it's a standard EPUB (not DRM-protected)
- Try the Send to Kindle app instead
"DRM error"
DRM-protected EPUBs from other stores won't work. You need DRM-free files.
