One thing that works for me is this: export a file or subtree to html,
then send to [myname]@kindle.free.com. Then, when my Kindle is
connected to the internet, it will automatically download Amazon's
conversion of my html file. This happens pretty quickly, in my
experience, so it will almost certainly be faster than other methods
described in this thread.
