Thank you for all the help in the other thread. This one is easy.

I live in Saudi Arabia but am now in Mexico on vacation. That is to say I am out of the Whispernet service area. I am subscribing to the New York Times. When I go to the Managing Your Kindle Page, I see a number of copies of the The Times are undelivered. How do I get them?

It is not obvious to me. I plug the Kindle into the USB port, then I do what exactly?

This is fairly critical to me as I will need to use the computer/USB technique to download all content once I get back to Saudi.

From the "Manage your Kindle" page, look for a link on the right side that says "Your Media Library". Go there, and select "View All Your Kindle Items".You can download the files from here.

Once in your Media Library download the items to your computer then use the USB connection to move the files to your Kindle. Be sure to put the newspapers and such in to the documents folder.
