Hence my conclusion that, in all likelihood, the process will require a PC.
It goes without saying that you can only transfer the books from a tablet to the Kindle, if the books you need to transfer are actually on the tablet.

Not really sure what you are referring to.

You can indeed send books wirelessly to the Kindle, but it doesn't cost anything... assuming you send it via WiFi rather than 3G.

But how does that solve your problem, and what does that have to do with "before I have to get the tablet serviced"?
