But there is another way to transfer the file, this is to send it to your special mail in the service.
It looks like this: find the e-mail in the settings of the Kindle application, it's called "Send-to-kindle email adress" and will look like: your_nik@kindle.com.
After sending the file, it will be added to your account automatically.
