MUCH thanks Wallcraft. That was it. It now transfers and I see it under Books. Not sure why a manual drag/drop doesn't work. Oh well.

Not directly related but something I noticed. The .MOBI file converts a colored comic into black and white, but at almost half the size. My goal of the MOBI files was to get back some memory space. Is there any Kindle Fire format that allows for color?

UPDATE: Never mind, I figured out the input settings. In color, the comics aren't too much smaller. Oh well, I'll just do B&W for my older 2G Kindle.
