I love my Kindle and have the Kindle app on my phone, as well.  Not sure
why you are waiting to find out if the Kindle can read your file as I send
files to my Kindle all the time.  Just send the file you want to appear on
your Kindle to the email address provided by Amazon for your device and it
will appear on your Kindle.  Test over.  Also, Calibre with send any file
in its library to your Kindle device, also.
