Thanks for the answer! I greatly appreciate it, but I'm not sure what you mean.

My PDF file books were originally downloaded to a place outside of Calibre, and I can read these books on a PDF reader that I have on my computer. But I wanted to use the features of Kindle.

So I downloaded Calibre to convert these PDF files to Kindle.

Up until now the only way I've downloaded books to the Kindle on my Mac is to purchase books directly from Amazon.

So what I'm asking is how to tranfer the converted files from Calibre (I used the convert files button on Calibre to convert the files to a format for Kindle) onto my Kindle on my Mac.

Thanks again! Your help is greatly appreciated!
