Actually, I can't drag-n-drop the library book anywhere! I'm thinking this is a rights management feature.

I also tried the "SYNC" option from the Kindle app. It didn't work. Has anyone done this? It's a first generation Kindle. My Fire is pre-ordered and I hope I wont have this much trouble.

I keep thinking, "... there has to be a way..." but maybe not.

Thanks

Go to Manage Your Kindle page and choose to download it from there then drag it into your Kindle via USB or if you have WiFi you can choose to have it sent that way. You can't download from one device then use that same file on another because of DRM. You have to do it separately.

I also forgot it will show up in your Archive Items on your Kindle. You can choose it from there too.
