4. did a search in the search bar in Galaxy for "Kindle". Laptop found a "Kindle" folder, which I opened. There was one empty folder in Kindle folder - "acw".

5. Pasted the mobi file to the Kindle folder (NOT into acw)

6. Closed the folder on the laptop, opened the Kindle app in the Galaxy, and the new book was there alongside the ones I had purchased from Amazon.com

I tried this kwagga and it worked a treat for getting my converted epubs onto my Galaxy tablet. However are you able to synchronise between the tablet and your PC?

I am running Kindle for PC under Wine in Linux and haven't been able to synchronise between my Galaxy tablet and PC.

Thanks.
