2024. Amazon unveiled new USB Manager for Send to Kindle for Mac



Amazon has discreetly unveiled new capabilities for Send to Kindle for Mac. This official software package enables Macintosh users to effortlessly send PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, HTM, HTML, PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP and EPUB files to the various Kindle 2024 models and the Kindle Scribe. There is additional functionality today, with a completely new update. It has just added support for USB file transfers and the required drivers. The USB Manager feature functions with Intel and Mac M1-M3 computers running MacOS 12. Amazon probably prepared this support documentation before the new M4 Mac Mini, iMac and other systems were revealed last week. I am confident the new Send to Kindle for Mac will accommodate M4; if you manage to get it to work, please share your thoughts below. So Mac users will no longer need to install unreliable third-party programs or drivers simply to use the USB feature to send digital content to the Kindle from a Mac system. It seems Amazon is finally providing Mac users with some focus.


2019. Alexa now allows to send ebooks to Kindle



Amazon has just unveiled new functionality to add or delete audiobooks and ebooks on your Kindle e-reader using Alexa. If you have the Alexa app on your smartphone or have a physical speaker you can simply say “Alexa, manage my content”. It will then give you some options like adding an ebook or audiobook to your default device or deleting them entirely from your account. This is the second occasion that Amazon has added functionality to interact with the Kindle. The first was in late 2016 when Alexa could start reading your ebooks aloud on the Echo.
