Kindle: File Conversion Instuctions, Please

Hello from a newbie. Please forgive any redundancy; I have been searching the boards and found the information I thought I needed but an embedded link led to nowhere, hence the instructions were missing.

I just received the latest Kindle and was hoping to give it to my husband as an anniversary present tomorrow.

I am a published author and I thought it would be an easy task to transfer my book in digital form to the new Kindle; wouldn't that be a cool surprise? Well, the surprise was on me when I learned of all the formats and conversion headaches.

I was able to do the following: I purchased my own book in .acsm and was able--with much difficulty as the download wasn't cooperating, to finally view it in Adobe ADE.

I installed Calibre and followed someone's instructions (thank you) to download the appropriate plugin, but that's as far as I could go with the missing instructions. I don't know how to find or what to do with the directory, sub tools, plugins and ineptepub_v01.2_plugin.zip.

If anyone could point me in the right direction to find succinct step-by-step instructions to complete this process I would be most grateful!!

I am assuming that once all this confusion is resolved I have to find the appropriate converted file and somehow transfer it to the Kindle. Is it done with the usb cable?

Very grateful for any help
