I have read through the above info and will try to solve the problem Sunday. I will report back. However, I still didn't see any solution to address the problem: When I connect the Kindle Fire to a Windows computer via USB cable, the new external SD card does not show in Windows file manager, only the Kindle Fire internal storage shows up in the Windows file manager. I have a lot of movies on the Windows computer I simply want to transfer to the Kindle external SD card. The Kindle Fire internal storage is nearly full. Using the above suggestions, I guess I will be able to first transfer the movies via USB cable from the Windows computer to the Kindle internal storage ( already can do this- no problem), then using ES file manager on the Kindle to move the movies from the Kindle Fire internal storage to the Kindle Fire external SD card. This method is less convenient than directly transferring the movies from Windows to Kindle Fire external SD card. This is my friend's Kindle. If it is true that files cannot be transferred directly from Windows to Kindle Fire external SD card, I want to know this. If this is the case, in the future, if I am offered a free Kindle Fire, I would decline the offer. To be more clear, below I have posted a Windows screenshot of my $10 Walmart Android device when connected to a Windows computer via USB cable. See red circle "SD card". This is what I want to see when I connect the Kindle Fire to Windows computer. Another simple way to solve this problem (although slightly inconvenient), is to remove the Kindle Fire SD card, and insert into micro SD card reader, transfer files from Windows computer to SD card, insert SD card back into Kindle Fire. Then I can watch the movies on the Kindle Fire.
