Novice Kindle Paperwhite user question, reading files sent to kindle.com email

Have been sent a url for a book to my Iphone - emailed this to my kindle.com address, don't know how to download, access and read this on my Kindle paperwhite?!!

Have read instructions on personal document archiving, via amazon's device support site, ....but unable to get my head around it, totally confused :wall:

Is there some kind informed soul(s) who are willing take me through the steps to set up kindle to enable this please?
Thanks in advance :)

    You need to email a copy of the book to your kindle email address, not the url of it.

    If you have a computer or tablet that you can download the book to from the url you have been given (I don't think you can do this with an iphone?), then it should just be a case of attaching the book to an email which you then send to your kindle email address. And as long as your Kindle's wifi is switched on, it should be delivered to your kindle with no problems.

    Couple of things to consider in addition to this, the email address you send the book from has to be on your approved list on the Amazon website, and the book must be a) DRM free, and b) a format that the Kindle can read.

    The instructions on the Amazon.com site seem a little clearer to me:
