What Does It Mean ?
I have purchased a Kindle Global and like it very much. When charging the battery I don't know what the message on the screen that says " If you want to use your Kindle and continue charging please eject from your computer. " It also tells you [ when you read the Kindle info on the machine itself ] also to eject after you have finished from the section on your computer where the Kindle file is . I am not very computer literate and don't understand what this
' eject " means . On my PC where the Kindle shows up it only has Audible ,Documents and Music. I can't see anything there that allows you to do anything and can't find the Kindle anywhere else on my PC . I am worried that I am doing the wrong thing by just pulling the plug when I finish charging . I am running XP. Thanks for any help. |

Another thing you could do is power down the computer to standby and then remove the cable, at least, I think it is ok to do that. Last edited by Pushka; 01-17-2010 at 03:57 AM. |

I have so many icons in the tray that the easier way I have found is to go to the Start button, click on Computer and the Kindle should be shown in the list with all of your other "drives". You can right click on the Kindle and select "eject" from the menu. This is with Vista.
I also use Calibre. When I use the eject button next to the Kindle the Kindle will no longer show as connected on the computer but the screen on the Kindle still shows it connected. Hmmmm. |

And not to forget that if you have Vista you have to use the way trough Start button --> Computer --> right klick on Kindle --> "eject"
Using the systray method in the right down corner wouldn't let you use the kindle while charging via PC USB. That just works for XP (maybe Win7 i don't know). |

In Windows 7 you need to follow the same procedure as for Vista.
Click start - computer - then right click on the Kindle and select eject. |
