Thrive to spite them

I figured out a way to do it, I don't know if it's the easiest way but it's on the Kindle.

Hey. New board.

Ooh, cool! Thanks for that link, DCJ. I might start reading fanfic again soon...

Hey. New board.

That looks like a great choice. Just enter your kindle e-mail address, choose MobiPocket format, then click Download. It will get e-mailed to the address and appear automagically on your Kindle when you're connected to WiFi.

Nifty.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Doesn't it cost money to email things to your kindle address?

Hey. New board.

Not if you download the thing over Wifi, instead of 3G. My kindle is Wifi only now, so that's how I always get it. The money is just bandwidth costs, so if it doesn't cost them any cell bandwidth, it's free.

You may need to e-mail to username@free.kindle.com instead of username@kindle.com, I'm not sure.

ETA: I just tested this whole process. Send it to username@free.kindle.com and you can download it for free over WiFi. You have to set flag-noreply@erayd.net as an approved e-mail address on the Personal Document settings in your Amazon Manage Your Kindle page, but then it works well.

Ohhhhh. Hmm.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I sent my thing to username@kindle.com and downloaded it over WiFi with no problem. I put my own e-mail address as an approved address.

With the personal documents feature on the kindle I can read pdfs - like crochet patterns! They aren't in color, obviously but I can at least have them at my fingertips.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My cousin is telling me that a tech can't find the hookup on her iPad to get her online via cell service. What are they talking about? Do they sell iPads that can't be activated for cell service? If they do, would they then have models that need something external and can't support it? That sounds suspiciously like fragmentation.
