Upload Documents Right To Your Kindle

I came across an interesting blog that talked about how to upload documents to your Kindle, which has been very helpful to me, so I thought I would pass it along to you.

I have a job that requires me to read a lot of reports. When I travel, I find that airport and airplane idle time is a good way to get caught up on my reading of said reports.

One problem that I have experienced is that when I travel, I end up taking more stuff than I need, and I am not just talking about shoes (you know what I mean ladies!). So, my carry-on bag typically contains, books, paperwork, laptop, music, and whatever else I deem essential for my trip. Since getting my Kindle, I have been able to reduce the number of gadgets I take with me without sacrificing the quantity of items, because I can fit a lot of it on my Kindle.

For example, as you well know, you are able to download 100s of 1000s of books right onto your Kindle, so, I no longer have to take my physical books with me. If you don't know, you can also upload music onto your Kindle, so I no longer have to have an additional gadget for that. Wouldn't it be nice if I could reduce the amount of hard copy paperwork I have, by uploading that onto your Kindle as well? So, now when I travel, I have my Kindle, my laptop, and me. It really makes things a lot easier.

If you are interested in how to upload documents, i.e., word files, PDF files, etc., onto your Kindle practically free, please visit this blog, EduKindle, for instructions and information.

Now, some people may be wondering why not just use your laptop to read the reports and not worry about uploading documents to your Kindle. Whenever I can avoid lugging my laptop through an airport and not have to worry about taking it out of my bag and putting it in a bin by itself when I go through security only to have to put it back in my bag and lug it around some more, I'll opt for the Kindle every time. I still have to run it through security, but it is a lot smaller, easier, and lighter to deal with. That's just my preference.

I just wanted to make sure you knew your options and just how versatile your Kindle really is.
