![]() Kindle takes your account security seriously. We received a request to send the following document to your Kindle account:Ĭlick below within 48 hours to verify this request. If you try to send a Leanpub ebook to Kindle, you may get an email with the subject "Verify your Kindle document" from Amazon Kindle Support with a message like this: We’ve also updated the Push to Kindle web app to show a notice when you use a custom from address.Īs always, if you have any trouble, please do let us know.Recently Amazon has introduced new security measures to protect Kindle users. (We do not handle any incoming email at ‘ ’, so any verification emails sent to this address will be ignored.) ![]() This is unlikely to affect most of our users but if you’ve edited your Send-to-Kindle address to resemble ‘kindle’, you might want to change it if you notice articles are no longer getting through. Note, however, that Amazon still flags articles sent to its Personal Documents Service if the first part of the sending address is too similar to the Kindle address. Because we’re authorised to send messages from the address, any automatic server checks at Amazon’s end will pass. Amazon will attempt to send a verification email to that non-existent address.įor both cases above, we suggest using ‘ ’ in Push to Kindle and adding it to your approved list. Previously you could enter something like, and add it to your Amazon Kindle approved list. If you’ve been using a made-up email address as the ‘send from’ address, you will need to change this. If you’re not bothered by them, you don’t have to make any changes. If you’ve entered your own email address as the ‘send from’ address in Push to Kindle, you may now be receiving these verification emails from Amazon asking you to click the ‘Verify Request’ button. Amazon now checks for such messages and sends its verification email to the ‘send from’ address. Any email system can send emails using a custom ‘From’ address, but because this can be abused to send spam, many systems will flag these messages. It appears Amazon is now checking if the sending server is authorised to send emails on behalf of the ‘send from’ address. This could be in response to recent vulnerabilities discovered by researchers. This is still the case today, but Amazon is now applying even stricter checks when handling emails sent to its Personal Documents Service. It wasn’t until I changed the email to something more significantly different like that the article was sent directly without verification. I changed my send-to-kindle address from to but I still received the verification email. Minor differences between the two addresses will still trigger the verification request, as one Push to Kindle user reported: So if your Kindle address is and you’re sending an article from, you’ll always receive a “Verify your Kindle document” email from Amazon. The email asked the user to click a ‘Verify Request’ button within 48 hours to tell Amazon that the document should be sent to their Kindle. This didn’t affect everyone, but those whose Kindle address resembled their sending address began receiving emails with the subject line “Verify your Kindle document”. ![]() In 2019 Amazon started requiring user verification for documents sent to its Kindle Personal Documents service. And Amazon always processed these messages without trouble (provided the from address appeared in your approved list). In Push to Kindle, we’ve always given users the option of entering their own email address as the ‘send from’ address. Each Amazon Kindle account has its own approved list and by default the email address associated with your Amazon account is already on this list. To prevent spam to its service, Amazon has always required that documents sent to it come from an address listed in your Amazon Kindle ‘approved’ list. Push to Kindle uses Amazon Kindle’s Personal Documents service to send articles to your Kindle account. If you currently use our default address as your ‘send from’ address in Push to Kindle, you’re most likely not affected. It’ll give a little more background and instructions on how to make sure you’re not affected when sending articles to your Kindle. ![]() This is an update to our previous Patreon post about delivery issues some Push to Kindle users may be experiencing as a result of recent changes to Amazon’s Kindle Personal Documents service. ![]()
