Important: Be sure to note which folder you download your content file to. You will transfer your content from this folder to your Kindle.
• Connect your Kindle to your computer with the USB cable. Your Kindle appears in the same location on your computer that external USB drives appear. • Windows: Your Kindle will appear in the Computer or My Computer folder. • Mac: Your Kindle will appear on the desktop. • Open the Kindle folder, and then open the documents folder.
• Locate the downloaded file on your computer, and then drag and drop the compatible file into the documents folder within the Kindle folder. • Safely eject your Kindle from your computer. • For touch-screen devices, make sure you are on the Downloaded tab to view your downloaded Kindle content.
File Formats for Kindle Fire Amazon Kindle natively reads.mobi files. If you have a book in, you can still read it, but you'll either need to convert it using a program like or install a separate reading app like on your Fire. Supported files for Kindle books are: • KF8 Kindle Format 8 • MOBI • AZW (This is essentially a copy protected version of.mobi) • PRC Supported files for Kindle Fire Personal Documents are: • TXT • PDF • DOC • DOCX You can open and read PDF books, but you cannot do so under the Books tab on your Kindle or your Kindle app on your mobile device. Those are under Docs. That's why your Kindle Fire user guide is located in Docs instead of under Books. Easy Method #1 Transferring Your Files by Email You can email your Kindle files as attachments. This is, by far, the easiest and most convenient way to do it.
Easy Method #2 Transferring Your Files by USB If you use a micro-USB cable and connect it to your computer, you can transfer files to and from your Kindle just like it was an external hard drive. Place any.mobi files in the Books folder, and place.pdf and other formats in the Documents folder. Once you've added your files, you may need to restart the Kindle to get it to recognize your new books.

Easy Method #3 Transferring Using Dropbox You can use Dropbox to transfer files. • If you use Dropbox, you'll want to navigate to your eBook file and rather than just tapping to open it, you'll want to select the triangle to the right of the file name. • Next, tap Export.

• Choose Save to SD Card (your Kindle doesn't actually have an SD card, but this gets you to the internal storage space). • Select either Books (for.mobi files) or Documents (for.pdf,.txt,.doc, and other files). • Tap Export. Once you've done this, you should restart your Kindle Fire. Your books will appear after that. If your book does not appear, double check that you waited for the book to fully copy to your Kindle's hard drive and double check that you chose the correct folder for the file format.
