# What is Send to Kindle?

Send to Kindle is Amazon's service for delivering your own documents to a Kindle library, through an app, a web page or a personal Kindle email address. It accepts EPUB files and converts them to Amazon's format for the device.

## Why it matters when you convert a PDF to EPUB

It is the simplest way to read a converted PDF on a Kindle: convert the PDF to EPUB, send the EPUB, and the book appears in your library. Because Amazon converts the EPUB again, a valid EPUB (no EPUBCheck errors) is the best guarantee that it goes through cleanly.
