If you’re going to be sending PDFs to your Kindle fairly regularly, you might want to look into the standalone Send to Kindle app for Windows and macOS (which is not the same as the Kindle Desktop app for reading). The app lets you instantly send a PDF (or other documents) to your Kindle using drag and drop.
Now, you can either directly drag and drop a PDF on the app icon, or you can open the app, and drag a PDF to the app window.
Once the PDF is added, select the Kindle device you want to send it to. Then click the Send button.
In a couple of seconds, the app will send the PDF file to your Kindle. Once the process is complete, the app will automatically close the window.
When you pick up your Kindle, you’ll find the PDF at the top of your home screen.
