Tip: Mobipocket files must have no Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection applied to be
readable on your Kindle. If you purchased a Mobipocket file from a Mobipocket retailer, you
will not be able to open the file on your Kindle.
Transferring Your Clippings
Your clippings are stored in a file called "My Clippings.txt," which is located in the "documents"
directory. If you want to copy the clippings from your Kindle to your computer so you can edit
them, e-mail a passage to a friend, or just archive your clippings, you can drag and drop the "My
Clippings.txt" file onto your computer. Clippings and other annotations are described in more
detail in Chapter 3.
8.3 Converting and Transferring Your Documents
In addition to reading commercially available materials, you can have Amazon convert your
personal documents into a Kindle-compatible format for reading on your Kindle. You can have
the converted files sent wirelessly to your Kindle for a small fee or to the e-mail address
associated with your Amazon account for free.
Supported Formats for Conversion
In addition to the file formats listed above, you can also convert other personal documents to
read on your Kindle. The supported file formats are listed below:
• Microsoft Word (.DOC)
• PDF
• Structured HTML (.HTML, .HTM)
• JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG)
• GIF (.GIF)
• PNG (.PNG)
• BMP (.BMP)
• Compressed ZIP (.ZIP)
Note: PDF conversion is currently an experimental feature on Kindle. Due to PDF's fixed layout
format, some complex PDF files might not format correctly on your Kindle.
Tip: ZIP files are automatically opened up by the conversion service if you choose to compress
your documents. Any enclosed files listed above inside the ZIP file will be converted and sent to
your Kindle or computer as specified.
Sending Your Documents for Conversion
Each Kindle has its own unique e-mail address. When you e-mail personal documents to your
Kindle, they are automatically converted to a Kindle-friendly format.
