I like my Kindle - but don't like being restricted to the Amazon website / bookshop. I haven't been able to sort out how to download books from elsewhere - either directly to the KIndle or via my PC and then transferred to Kindle.


Can anyone point me at a simple "how to do it" guide?


Cheers

It's Gutenburg and other out of copyright, or paid for books. For example, was intrigued to learn that "Cool Hand Luke" a favourite film is based on a novel. Amazon doesn't publish the novel but other e-book providers do. How can I buy and transfer to my Kindle??

Ah I see Marmora Man.

One thing I have done with documents before is email them to my kindle - I wonder if you downloaded a book to your pc, might you be able to email it to your kindle?


There are details on amazon here

Just create a new email account for her, and a new Amazon account in her name. Use your credit card to pay for whatever, then give her the log in details. She can change it to her own card details later.


It doesn't atter if you pay for things with a card that is in a different name to the Amazon account. We have a sort of joint credit card in my wife's name, and I've used it on my amazon account with no problems.

You don't need to email them to the Kindle - just connect the kindle to your PC via the usb connector - the Kindle will show up as a drive (assuming you run Windows). Drag and drop the books to the "documents" folder and reboot your kindle (you may need to go into Home/Menu/Restart on the Kindle to do this). You need to be sure the files are the correct format and not DRM'd (if you've got them from Gutenberg, should be fine).


There is also a detailed guide on the Amazon site: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200493090#usb

      Londis isnt a take away or fast food outlet. Its simply another convenience store.

      Excellent New Local Plumber

      By MariaSE22 · Posted

      Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly.

      Where to take a 9 year old during summer holiday.

      By Pugwash · Posted

      My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks

      Who to call to dispose of a dead fox please?

      By Peckhampam · Posted

      When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
