What's a Kindle 6?

AlexBell · 06-10-2013, 07:31 PM

And how does one transfer ebooks to it from the computer?

The background to these questions is that I've just sent a mobi/azw3 ebook I designed to the author. She says 'All this ebook technology [is] a big learning curve' and does not know what Kindle model she has or how to transfer the ebook to her reader. The paperwork she has mentions 'Kindle Black (Kindle 6).' I've attached a screenshot.

I have a Kindle Keyboard, and have told her the method I use to transfer eboks from my computer, but I don't know whether the same method will work on her reader.

Can some kind soul identify what model she has, and tell me how she should transfer the ebook I've emailedto her to her reader?

That's the basic Kindle, often referred to as the Kindle4B (B for balck) or KindleNT (NT for No Touch). The transfer methods are the same as they are for your Kindle 3/Keyboard. I've seen a few people call the Kindle Paperwhite a Kindle 6, but never heard this model called that.

Thanks, Brian, that's most helpful.

The paperwork she has which calls it a Kindle 6 came with the reader. I should have mentioned that she bought it last November.

I presume from the 'No Touch' name that she will navigate by looks like a 5 way key?

There should be a User's Guide on the Kindle that gives instructions on how to load content via USB.

Navigation is basically the same as your Kindle Keyboard. Just think of it as like your Kindle, but with the physical Keyboard cut off.

Thanks again to you both.

The Kindle User Guide should already be on your device.

I know (

), I was pointing that out to the OP. I didn't link to the Kindle CS Guide because the Guide should already be on the Kindle (unless the friend deleted it).

I passed along the information to the author, and whether she used the instructions I gave her or the manual on the Kindle NT she was able to load the ebook and read it.
