Hello from Virginia

Hello everyone!

I have a K2 that I bought last Feb, 2009. I am a member on another board, but am new here. I have only bought from Amazon so far. How do I order from some of the other sights you mention here? Will they come through on wispernet? Or do i have to download to my computer? I want to get Under the Dome by Stephen King, and am looking to find it for less than 9.99.

How do I do that?

Thanks!!
Sue

Welcome to MobileRead, Sue.

Try our wiki for a list of sites that compare ebook prices......scroll to the bottom.....or you can just look thru the different ebook stores. Remember, you need mobi (.prc) format for your kindle, unless you are willing to strip drm.

Okay......if you just want to buy thru amazon, its easy, right? Just click on the "buy now" link on the Kindle.

If you want to download from somewhere else, you need to make sure you have the proper format, in our case, "mobipocket" or .prc. You would download the book to your computer, then sideload it to your Kindle using the usb cord provided.

shk246, have you gone here and looked over the 'help' section? If not.......you may find some great info on downloading books, with pictures and video.

Try practicing with some of our free ebooks here.......click the 'ebooks' tab,then click on "mobipocket" format. Choose genre, or search by authors last name. Click on the link and it will be downloaded to your computer.

When loading to your kindle, make sure you put the book into the "documents" folder.

Let us know if this has helped at all.
