There is a document processing fee for the Kindle Personal Documents Service when you do not use Wi-Fi or USB. Fees for the Kindle Personal Document Service via Whispernet are based on the size of the file submitted, your country, and where you're accessing Whispernet. If possible, we will attempt to deliver via Wi-Fi rather than Whispernet, and no document processing fee will be charged.

1. To set your personal documents charge limit, go to Manage Your Kindle, and then select Personal Document Settings.
2. Click Whispernet Delivery Options, and then click Edit.
3. Enter your preferred charge limit, and then click Update. The limit you set is a per document limit. If you send multiple documents, the total aggregated charge for conversion may exceed your per document limit.

Kindle Personal Documents Service supports the following file types.

You may send personal documents to your supported devices for your personal, non-commercial use only. We may limit the volume or number of documents you may send, download, or store.
