Downloading Content from Your Computer
To transfer content to your Kindle that you downloaded from Amazon, follow these steps:
1. Connect the USB cable (provided with your Kindle) to the Kindle and your computer.
2. Your Kindle should appear on your computer in the same location you would normally find
an external USB drive.
3. Open your Kindle drive. You should see a folder entitled “documents.”
4. Transfer the downloaded files into the “documents” folder of your Kindle.
5. Using your computer, eject your Kindle from your computer. The content you transferred
should now appear in Home.
To transfer audiobooks and MP3s, see “Audiobooks and MP3s” in Chapter 8.
