I would like some information on how to download a book from a site other than Amazon onto my Kindle. Specifically, what format should I use. Should I download it to my computer or to the address at AmazonKindle? Any idea of what the charges are?
I hope this message gets to someone because I am not sure whether I am posting this in the right place or not.
Regards,
Bob

Hi Bob, Your best best is a file in .prc or .mobi format. I would suggest downloading to your computer, because then you will have a backup on your computer. Books purchased from sites other than Amazon are not backed up in the Amazon archive. Once you have it on your computer, you can transfer with the USB cable or email it to your Kindle. For the latter, the charge is 15c per MB. If you have more questions on this issue, probably your best best is to post them over in the Tips, Tricks, and Troubleshooting forum. It is more likely to get noticed there. Welcome to KindleBoards. Glad to have you here. Leslie |

Greetings and Welcome, New Kindle-owners!! We are so glad you found KindleBoards! We have many areas that you probably will like. Have you been to The Book Corner yet? That's the area for discussions about books (naturally  ). That's also where you will find threads about books Recommended by our Members and a list of additional sites for Book Lovers.Then there is the Book Bazaar where our member/authors post about their books and hold discussions about writing, publishing and many other topics. That is also where you will locate Bargain Books and even Free Books threads where you can get reading material at low or no cost! Here is a link to get you started: Master list of free & under $1 titles available from Amazon. If you have a question about your Kindle or it's usage, check out the FAQ or the forum about Tips, Tricks and Trouble Shooting . Or, just ask your question. We have many helpful and knowledgeable people here at KB and we feel there is no such thing as a "dumb" question. Questions about KindleBoards may be answered at Your guide to Forum Speak! linked from Forum tips. If not, once again, ask away! To keep everything running smoothly, we ask that everyone read Forum decorum. Another popular place is Let's Talk Kindle, where all things in the Kindle world are posted about. Be sure and check out the Photo Gallery, where pictures of members, pets, flowers, landscapes or just almost anything interesting can be found. Have you been to the Accessories area? There you will see information about covers, skins, lights, bags, stands and many other items to allow you to personalize your Kindle. Looking to just kill some time while you are waiting for your Kindle or if you have your kindle, want to try something different? Try INFINITY Game - Word Association or The "INFINITY" Thread: KEEP POSTING...Ready, Set,... GO!!! in the Not Quite Kindle area. Sorry for the long post, but there is just so much to do, learn and like about KindleBoards that I just get carried away.

Didn't think that I really needed a Kindle, but after 2 months of ownership, I can't imagine not having it. I find myself lost while reading it that I actually attempt to physically turn the page! I still love "real books", but the Kindle Rocks! Now to make time to figure out all the neat things that it can do.
they are amazing |

I finally gave in and ordered a Kindle last week-- the wait for delivery is killing me. In the meantime, I'm browsing these boards and I just wanted to say "hi". The information you give here is what finally helped me decide between a Nook and a Kindle-- that and the fact that every time I'd play with the Nook at B&N, I'd get mixed up between screens and it would freeze. |

Here I am to make my official "Hi, I'm new!" post!  I don't have my Kindle yet; I'll be ordering it within the next 24 hours. HOWEVER, I've ordered my (first) two skins from Decalgirl, though. I'm already in love with your accessories forum. This is a bonafide disease, isn't it? Well, glad to be meeting all of you awesome enablers. |

Hi Harvey.
I don't own a Kindle yet but now that the ipad is out do you think it is still worth getting a Kindle or would you recommend the ipad. Thank you in advance for you expert opinion!
