I use Linux and this is the way I do it. It works well. In the U.S. you can find these for about $20 to $25 shipped on Shop Goodwill. In England I can only look at eBay and they look fairly inexpensive...

I'm not sure what the cut-off point is for how new the Kindle can be and still work for this (someone here probably knows). If I was to guess I would say through the first Paperwhite edition -- but it's just a guess. I know the Kindle Basic (no-touch) with the buttons (4th generation) works and so does the Kindle 3 (keyboard).

Good luck.
