How do I "sideload" from Calibre to Kindle?

Attach a USB cable between the Kindle and the Calibre PC.
Calibre should Discover the Kindle (it will show a connected to message on the status line).
The first time, it may take some time for the initial Inventory of books found on the device. (The job wheel on the Calibre Status line will be active).

Once that is completed (normally) later connections should happen pretty fast.

Select 1 or more books: Use the icon with the big arrow to send to device.

Not the location of the icons I show are where I moved them.
The Icon with the word Kindle is the Device View icon, that lets you see the USERS files (those not in protected areas).

Right click either icon: Eject when done sending (important)
That is it
