Kindle owners who have been waiting patiently for the ability to send documents easily from their Mac desktop will be pleased to know that this week Amazon has now released a Mac OS X version of the Kindle document transfer software, Send To Kindle.
Send To Kindle for Mac OS X works in the same way that the PC version does, and enables you to send a wide variety of documents directly to your Amazon Kindle device.
Supported Document Formats
Documents supported include Microsoft Word documents, PDFs, plain text, and rich text files, together with images in either .jpeg or .gif formats. This broad range of supported formats ensures that users can easily transfer most of their important documents and images to their Kindle devices without any hassle. Whether you are a student needing to read PDFs on the go, a professional who wants to review Word documents, or someone who enjoys reading rich text files, Send To Kindle for Mac OS X has you covered.
As always, you can still send documents to your Amazon Kindle device by emailing them to your “Send to Kindle” e-mail address. This method remains a convenient alternative for those who prefer not to use the desktop application. Enjoy!
How to Use Send To Kindle for Mac
The process of sending documents to your Kindle device using Send To Kindle for Mac is straightforward and user-friendly. Here are the steps you need to follow:
“From Finder, simply drag and drop one or more documents on to the Send to Kindle icon on your Dock or launch the application and drag and drop one or more documents on to it. From Finder, you can also control-click on one or more documents and choose Send to Kindle. From any other application that can print, select Print and choose Send to Kindle.”
This intuitive drag-and-drop functionality makes it incredibly easy to transfer documents. For example, if you have a research paper saved as a PDF on your desktop, you can simply drag it to the Send to Kindle icon, and it will be available on your Kindle in no time. Similarly, if you are working on a project and need to review multiple documents, you can select them all and send them in one go.
Additionally, the ability to send documents from any application that can print adds another layer of convenience. Imagine you are browsing a web page with valuable information that you want to read later; you can simply print the page and choose Send to Kindle, making it available for offline reading on your Kindle device.
Benefits of Using Send To Kindle
Using Send To Kindle offers several benefits. Firstly, it helps in decluttering your physical space by reducing the need for printed documents. Secondly, it provides the convenience of having all your important documents in one portable device, making it easier to access them anytime, anywhere.

Moreover, for those who are environmentally conscious, using Send To Kindle contributes to reducing paper waste. By opting for digital documents, you are making a small yet significant step towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
The release of Send To Kindle for Mac OS X is a welcome addition for Kindle users who rely on their devices for reading and reviewing documents. Its ease of use, wide range of supported formats, and additional functionalities make it a valuable tool for both personal and professional use.
