Kindle Problem For the life of me I cannot figure this out. Please help!

I have been trying for a few hours now to try and sort out this conundrum. I am trying to import all my books from my old Kindle for PC software that is on an old computer to a new PC.

This is what I am doing and perhaps someone can tell me where I am going wrong?

I don’t know if this was anything to do with the procedure but first of all I sighed out of my Amazon account. I did this because I wasn’t having much luck beforehand and I thought this may be the culprit. It wasn’t.

On my new PC, I downloaded a new Kindle for PC interface software completely void of ebooks. When I call this up, my Amazon account comes up prompting me to sign in complete with password. Once I have signed in, I then get another Amazon notice that says, “To continue, approve the notification sent to: my email address. So, I go to my inbox and there is an email from Amazon asking if it was me that signed into my account. I have to click ‘approve’ to prove it was.

Then, within the new Kindle interface on the tool’s menu I clicked on, “Manage Your Content and Devices.” Another Amazon window pops up and I have to sign in yet again! Amazon’s website then pops up and gives me 6 books (although I have more than 6 books on the original Amazon Kindle software on the old computer.)

I select all 6 books and then click, “Deliver.” Another window pops up that shows me the 6 books that are checked. A drop-down window is also shown that says, “Devices Selected.” If I click on the drop-down window, the top 3 items starting from the bottom first, say, Andy’s Kindle for PC, Andy’s Kindle for PC 2 & Andy’s Kindle for PC 3 with a box to the left of each one. These are my past computers. I am assuming that I need to click the box to the left of Andy’s Kindle for PC 3, so I do.

Once I do that, a notice comes up that is only there a few seconds and then disappears so I couldn’t read what was on it. All I could make out were the first few words that said something like, “we are currently working on your request..” Then I am rerouted back to the Manage Your Content and Devices on my Amazon website. It seems as though I am put through a consistent loop that repeats itself each time.

Can anybody tell me where I am going wrong and why it does not work and my books are not put in the new software Kindle for PC? Thanks.
