Voilà quelques temps après la sortie des nouveaux kindle, Amazon propose un nouveau service qui vient remplir un vide dans sa gamme de services pour Kindle. En effet, le kindle peut lire tous les ebooks au format ePub il faut seulement les envoyer par email (votrekindle@kindle.com) et Amazon se charge de le convertir au format kindle. Mais il était impossible de retrouver dans le cloud les livres ou les documents qui n’auraient pas été acheté en dehors d’Amazon.
Depuis quelques jours Amazon propose une version en ligne de Personal Documents qui est un espace de 5G (gratuit) qui va vous permettra de gérer vos documents et livres « non » Amazon et ainsi de les envoyer sur d’autres appareils si besoin. Notez qu’avec ce principe de Personal Documents vous allez pouvoir lire un livre sur un kindle et reprendre la lecture au bon endroit sur un autre Kindle (si vous en avez plusieurs bien entendu). Cette option de synchronisation ne semble pas encore déployée sur les applications liées au kindle.

Dear Kindle Customer,
As a past user of the Kindle Personal Documents Service, we are pleased to let you know about some improvements:
• Your documents are now automatically archived in your Kindle library (you can control this from the Manage Your Kindle page at www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle).
• Archived documents can be re-downloaded from your archive to the all-new Kindle and Kindle Touch devices, as well as Kindle Keyboard (Kindle 3rd Generation–requires the latest software update v3.3 from www.amazon.com/kindlesoftwareupdates) – you will be able to find and download your documents from any of these devices that are registered to your account.
• Now (just as with Kindle books) Whispersync automatically synchronizes your last page read, bookmarks and annotations for your documents (with the exception of PDFs) across devices.We expect to extend these features to Kindle Fire and Kindle apps (such as Kindle Cloud Reader, Kindle for Android, Kindle for iPhone, Kindle for PC, and Kindle for Mac) in the coming months.
You can control these new features from the Manage Your Kindle page at www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle where you can see a list of your archived documents, re-deliver documents to your Kindle, delete any document from archive, or even turn off archiving for your account.
Learn more about the Kindle Personal Documents Service from our help pages at www.amazon.com/kindlepersonaldocuments.
Thank you for choosing Kindle,
Pour information j’ai bien regardé cette option et il me semble que cela fonctionne avec les documents qui auraient été envoyés sur le kindle après juin 2011. Pour tous ceux avant on va dire qu’il va falloir les renvoyer sur votre kindle par email pour qu’Amazon les intègre dans Personal Documents. Notez aussi qu’il va falloir mettre à jour votre kindle keyboard s’il n’embarque pas le firmware 3.3.
