Actually, this convenient feature has appeared in Kindle users' sight when they launched Kindle at the first time. But most of Kindle owners have ignored this great function unintentionally.

Send Documents from Desktop to Kindle
If you want to read your special books, which are not available in Kindle, you can send these documents to Kindle form your desktop, since Kindle supports almost all computer files and allows you to check and import important files for reading on Kindle e-Reader. However, the premise is that you should download Amazon's Send to Kindle program that is available for both PC and Mac. This Kindle Personal Document Service is compatible with Fire tablets, Kindle e-Readers and other Kindle reading applications with Amazon account.
More Tips: Although this Send to Kindle software can support multiple e-book formats, such as PDFs, Word docs, JPEGS, and more, you are not allowed to convert your iBooks eBooks to Kindle with this powerful software due to FairPlay DRM technology. Just like iTunes DRM movies and TV shows limited to playing on Apple ecosystem only, e-books purchased and downloaded from iBooks store are not able to read on non-Apple e-readers, like Amazon Kindle, Nook Tablet, Bobo as well as Sony e-reader. As a consequence, Amazon Kindle can't support iBooks protected e-books directly. If you aspire to read iBooks DRM e-books on Kindle, you should remove DRM protection from iBooks DRM files losslessly. Here, we highly recommend ViWizard iBook Copy for Mac, the most professional iBooks DRM removal solution. It can help you to get rid of DRM restriction from iBooks e-book purchases at 30X faster speed without touching the original files.
