I normally load my Paperwhite with a dozen or so books before a trip so I'll have plenty of choices for a new book to start. But on rare occasions, I have wished that I had loaded a book that I did not. So I pull out my cellphone and use the web browser to connect to my Calibre Web server at home. I download the book to the cellphone. I can either read it on the cellphone with Moon+ reader, or I can transfer it to my Paperwhite. I have not actually done the Paperwhite transfer in the past, but I think I am set up to do that. I have an OTG USB cable ("On The Go") with USB-C on one end (my cellphone) and microUSB on the other (my Paperwhite 4). I need to try if this will work. It has worked just fine for other devices. My point-n-shoot camera specifically. I take a picture with the camera, transfer that to the cellphone with the OTG cable, then upload it over the cellular network using the web browser on the cellphone. My only question is when I plug the Paperwhite into the cellphone, what will the cellphone see in regards to the Paperwhite? Will I be able to find the correct directory on the Paperwhite to copy the book to? I just need to try it and see what happens. I don't want to ever take my Paperwhite out of airplane mode, hence me buying that OTG cable.
