La procedura è molto semplice, una volta convertito il libro dobbiamo: 1 – Cliccare col tasto destro sul nostro libro. 2 – Scegliere: “Connetti/condividi” e poi “Invia messaggio di posta elettronica a tuoindirizzo@free.kindle.com”. Calibre invierà automaticamente l’ebook al nostro Kindle e noi non dovremo fare altro che accedere a una rete Wi-Fi per scaricarlo senza connettere il Kindle al computer.

Ma la cosa più importante è che, attraverso questo procedimento, Amazon trasforma il nostro file “Mobi” in un “Azw” che viene salvato automaticamente nel nostro account Amazon: da questo momento, tutte le note, sottolineature, segnalibri presenti sul nostro Kindle saranno sincronizzati con il server di Amazon.
