I stopped using Amazon a while back, but it was where I got all my books for a long time. I do thriftbooks mostly now, and try to buy directly from publishers when it’s a newer book, but I’m always interested in finding new spots to cop some sweet books.

I just looked into it again and drag and dropping just the file didn't work but I used Calibre's "send to device" feature and it actually worked. Do you know if doing it this way just adds it to the kindle or to my kindle library for like my phone?
Send to device should be sending it to the memory of your Kindle. I have a Kobo and that's how it is for me at least and I don't think it'd be that different for Kindles from what I understand.
I think it works the same. I can probably test it by seeing if it shows up on my phone when pushing to my reader.
You can send attachments from your email account to your Kindle email address. You have to add your personal email address to your Kindle safe list, which can take a few tries.
Well that worked. I tried that in the past too and it wouldn't work for me for some reason.
It can take a few goes to set up for some reason.
On Android, if you download a PDF and 'share' it with your Kindle app, it will open a 'Send to Kindle' page.
Click 'PDF Options' then 'Make layout adjustable'.
Toggle 'Add to your library' 'On'.
Then 'send'.
Voila, PDF -> ePub/mobi.
It's not perfect but its better than squinting at tiny PDF text on a smart phone screen.
Apparently you can do this from the web, too: https://ebookfriendly.com/new-features-added-to-send-to-kindle-2023/
Hold up, you can send and convert at the same time? Can you do this from a desktop or is this one of the few things that Android and Kindle can agree on?
Yes, I did it by accident last week lol.
I think that link above has some instructions for doing it on desktop through your browser.
