Google Docs to Kindle with Images

I'd been looking into a nice way to get content onto the Kindle with minimal effort and realised Google docs has an email export.

After trying a few formats, these are the results:

HTMLBullet lists get converted into numbered lists with broken formatting
PDFFormatting good but as always with PDFs on the Kindle, readability and browsing is less than ideal
RTFAlmost perfect. Paragraphs have extra spacing between them but otherwise it looks good.

I'd therefore recommend emailing as RTF to your.name@free.kindle.com and trying this yourself. You'll need to add your Google account to the list of users allowed to send files to your device, but you'll get an email all about this from Amazon.
