Interesting--I was considering getting a Kindle but wasn&#x27;t sure of an easy way to get my non-Amazon ebook collection over to it. This looks pretty simple given I already have them in my Dropbox account which I use on my iPad to push to the iBooks app.<p>In terms of the Kindle&#x27;s ability to handle PDFs, does it allow for resizing the page? Or is it pretty important to get the PDF page sizes &quot;kindle-sized&quot; to have a hope of reading it without a magnifying glass?

Is this like creating an ifttt.com recipe, you look for files in a folder and email them to the Kindle?<p><a href="https://ifttt.com/recipes/17578-if-stored-in-kindle-dropbox-folder-then-send-it-to-your-kindle" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ifttt.com&#x2F;recipes&#x2F;17578-if-stored-in-kindle-dropbox-...</a><p>Kindlebox is a nicer way to do it if that is all someone wants, something I would send to my mom instead of teaching her how to use ifttt.com.

Stopped at step #3 of the activation process.<p>Amazon took me to my country&#x27;s Amazon site. From there, the snippet button did not work. Also I could not get the precise action behind: &quot;pick your Kindle devices, and you&#x27;re good to go&quot;. So I stopped right there.
