Amazon has quietly announced new functionality for Send to Kindle for Mac. This an official software package, allows Macintosh users to easily send PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, HTM, HTML, PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP and EPUB files to your the various Kindle 2024 models and the Kindle Scribe. There is some new functionality today, with a brand new update. It just introduced the support USB file transfers and the necessary drivers.
The USB Manager feature works with Intel and Mac M1-M3 computers running MacOS 12. Amazon likely wrote this support documentation before the new M4 Mac Mini, iMac, and other devices were announced last week. I am sure the new Send to Kindle for Mac will support M4; if you can get it to work, please comment below.
This is tremendous news for Mac users. They will no longer have to install unreliable third-party apps or drivers just to use the USB functionality to send digital content to the Kindle from a Mac computer. It seems like Amazon is finally giving Mac users some attention.
