I have a KF HD 2nd generation model. I want to connect it to my Mac running El Capitan. I want to copy books to the KF. I did install the Android file transfer and it does open the KF. However, there is no content which I know it is not true because I have book on the KF. There is a whole bunch of folders and no content expect some files. I am trying to find the location of this book so I can copy other books to that same location. In the File Transfer app, there is a section called BOOKs. Within BOOKs there is a folder called ACW and there is a bunch of files with .ACX extension. I don't know what these files are. I looked in DOCUMENTS as well and there is nothing there. I guess I will try to connect the KF to a Windows 7 computer and see what that does.

I have a Voyage and I connected it to the same Mac using the same USB cable. The Mac will mount the Voyage as a disk drive and I can view all of the books. I would have thought the same idea applies to the Kindle Fire. It should mount a disk and I can copy books over to the KF. I don't know what is going on or how to fix it. Yes, I am using the OEM usb cable.

So I connected the KF to a Windows 7 computer. I get the same folders and there is no content in these folders. The KF connects to the computer as a Media device rather than an external drive. The computer lists the KF as a portable device and under OTHER devices there is an exclamation point. If I go to try and update the drive, it comes back saying there is no driver. Again, I know there is a book on the KF but I can't find this book when I connect the KF to the computer.
