Important: The option to Send Documents to Kindle from Microsoft Word will be retired after February 2026. After its retirement, users will no longer be able to access the feature via the Export menu. Instead, we recommend sending doc and docx files directly from this Send to Kindle site.Â
The Send to Kindle feature lets you send Microsoft Word documents directly to your Kindle library in mere minutes. A transferred file can appear like a Kindle book with adjustable font sizes or like a printed document with fixed layouts so as to preserve your page-design formatting.
Kindle book format This formatting style enables adjustable font sizes and page layouts. It also supports handwritten sticky notes with Kindle Scribe. It works well for storing documents with simple text formatting for better readability on smaller screens.
Word document format This formatting style preserves the page layouts and text formatting of your Word document. Your content will display in Kindle as it would appear when printed (except tracked changes and comments, which will not appear).
Note:Â Files transmitted via Send to Kindle will become available on all supported Kindle apps and e-reader devices associated with the Amazon account that was used for authorizing the Send to Kindle function.
