Synamon, I'm running into some trouble with this. I've gone to Add Books and tried to make something happen by clicking Add Books from a single directory and the 2 options for adding books via multiple directories. They all default to the My Kindle Content folder, which has about 30-40 entries. When it defaults, it wants me to select one of the files. As far as Download and Transfer via USB, it doesn't appear at all on the add books menu.

I seem to be stuck in the starting gate. Suggestions?

Thanks,
Jane
