vlad, if you need a bit more detail, here's some:

You'll first need to download your purchases to your computer. You can do this by going to Your Media Library at Amazon in your web browser.

From there. choose the drop down, "your collection" and choose "Kindle Items". You should get a list of your purchases and free trial subscriptions (but not samples).

Click on the item you want to download and there should be a "download to computer" button on the right.

Once the file is downloaded, then follow the previous instructions: connect your Kindle via USB. Look for the Kindle storage device (explore "My Computer" if you are using windows). Copy the file to the "documents" directory on the Kindle. Wait for it to transfer (it will be quick, the mirrored indicator will spin a bit), then unplug the Kindle from USB and the book should now be listed again.

You won't be able to sample books by downloading to the computer, though. You'll have to get those over whispernet.
