email to kindle

FYI: if for some reason your computer stops recognizing things plugged into the USB drive as disks, such as, say, your Kindle, you can email things to your Kindle. And the help docs on Amazon will explain to you how to do that (every Kindle that’s compatible with this feature is automatically assigned an email address you can email to!) but what they will not tell you literally anywhere except once you’re elbow-deep in the Manage Device tab on their site is that your kindle will only accept emails from email addresses you’ve told it to accept from! You’d think they’d mention that in the help doc that’s meant to explain the process to you, but they do not.
So. Pro-tip.
Also finding the Help instead of Sell Me Stuff search bar on Amazon is challenging. But. My ADHD-crippled ass figured it out (honestly I am super fucking foggy lately, it sucks) so I believe in you. you can do it.
And now I have my free Tor.com novelette of The Only Harmless Great Thing by Brooke Bolander on my device, so, maybe I’ll really read it. I actually have another free novella on there I never got to. One of these days I’ll feel like I have the leisure to read. No, let’s be real here, I’ll only read it at work when nobody’s looking if I’m not working on something better, I don’t have Free Time or Leisure in my life, that’s not how I live. (If I do, I squander it fretting about How Best To Enjoy My Leisure and wracked with guilt that I’m not writing, so.) (Honestly I shouldn’t be allowed to have weekends, it never goes well.)
(I just opened the Bolander book and *gasp* there’s elephants. OMG I should read shit I’ve only ever heard the title of more often.)
