Hi,

As you can probably tell from my user name, I am retired and a newbie to this forum. Almost 2 years ago I bought a wifi Kindle 4GB, 8th generation. The shop assistant set it up for me, registered it etc. I only had it a few days when I decided I didn't want to have wifi at home after all, so my computer techno changed my modem back to broadband, removed all my data etc from my Kindle and I assumed I wouldn't be able to use the Kindle after that. I still have it and have been led to believe that I could still use it on my wired connection. Although there is no data on the Kindle, in my Amazon account, the Kindle is still registered to me. Rather than make this a drawn out story, is it possible to download eBooks via a USB cable on a wired connection to a wifi Kindle?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Cheers
