Thanks for the quick response. 2 questions:

1) The current ipad kindle app allows for sideloading in itunes i.e. access the iPad in itunes, click on apps, select the Kindle app and add the .mobi file to it. Is accessing the root of the iPad using DiskAid different than this?
Not chilady, but maybe I can help.

If it's anything like the iPhone, iTunes puts the book in a different folder, the Documents Folder I believe and this will not sync. It needs to be put in the folder 'KindleApp\Library\ebooks' like chilady stated in order for it to sync.

2) RE: "Open up Kindle for iPad app - books should be there. Read and then hit HOME upon closing out".... Do you mean the iPad hardkey "home" button or the home button within the Kindle app?

Thanks again. I'm at work but will attempt this when I get home later.
No, not the ipad home key but the home key in the Kindle App. If you touch the middle of the page while reading, a 'Home' button will appear at the top left. Click that to return to the home page of the Kindle App.

HTH,
Carol
