One-time Setup

In order to download an Edelweiss Digital Review Copy to your Kindle, you will need to first go to your Kindle Settings in Amazon.

1. Add our kindle email address as one of your approved emailers. To do this:

Go to 'Manage Your Kindle' on Amazon. Or from the homepage, click Your Account on the upper right, then Manage Your Kindle (under the Digital Content section) 

Then select Personal Document Settings (on the left hand side, under Your Kindle Account)

Under the heading Approved  Personal Document List click Add a new approved email address.

Add kindle@abovethetreeline.com as an approved sender.

2. While you are on this page, take note of your Kindle's email address, under the the heading Send-to-Kindle E-Mail Settings. For example name@kindle.com or name@free.kindle.com. Note that this address is different from your personal or business email address: it is an address assigned specifically for use by your Kindle.
