Links to Writing & Marketing Blog Posts PLUS How to Send Your Manuscript to Your Kindle

I've known for some time that I could email documents to my Kindle, but what I discovered today was that I can also highlight and make notes on the document. This has come in very handy as I've been reading through The Last MacKlenna.

I wanted a true reading experience as I read, so I emailed the manuscript in a Word document to my Kindle. If you don’t know how to do that, here are the instructions:

1. Open Amazon
2. Click on Your Account where it says Hello, [your name]
3. From the drop down menu select “Manage Your Kindle”
4. Enter your password
5. On the left hand column under “Your Kindle Account” you’ll see “Personal Document Settings”
6. Click
7. Look for Send-to-Kindle E-mail Settings
8. You’ll see your Kindle listed along with its email address
9. Scroll down to “Approved Personal Document Email List
10. Add you email address
11. Go to your email and send the attached Word document to your Kindle
12. Wait a few minutes and it will show up. 

Magic! 

Now, as you read, tap on the word/phrase that you want to edit. Click “highlight." You can also click “notes.” Write a note to yourself.  When you’re finished, click the index tap and go through all the notes and marks you've made. 

What a great way to read your finished manuscript and have a place to make notes for those last minute edits.

Happy writing & running, Kathy
