"There is one obvious (I think) way to add storage to your Kindle whichever one it is, and that is to hook up a Flash drive or an external storage device which could include a SD/uD/xD card reader/adapter.
I have all those but I have never had the reason to hook them up to the little USB2 port. Amazon provides you the cable to do that, so why doesn't someone do it and let us know what happened."
HarryT, you will note in my statement that I equivocated with "
(I think)."
Anyway, I decided to check it out since you asked.
I first looked around on the Kindle for a directory tool which I didn't think existed, and didn't find one.
Then I did what I had thought might work, and loaded into the browser the following:
file:///c:/ and clicked on "go to"
I got back the message:
Web Browser cannot download files using this protocol. Only HTTP: and HTTPS: protocols are supported.
So we are back to using web storage which of course requires connectivity which is not a problem if you have WiFi or even 3G subject to Amazon's tariffs on downloads.
