Adding books to 'Kindle Library'

garygibsonsf · 10-29-2012, 10:33 AM

Just got a paperwhite and transferring books form my old KK to this new machine. However, a lot of books I've emailed to myself aren't synced in the 'cloud' area of the paperwhite, nor are they in the 'Kindle Library' under 'Manage your Kindle' on the Amazon (UK) website.

Is there a way to add ebooks purchased from other retailers to the Amazon 'cloud' or 'library' without necessarily having to laboriously email them all to my new machine again? And also to save space by having them in the cloud, rather than fully downloaded?

Try this program, Once installed you can right click on your books that you want sent and there is a menu for sending the book(s) to your kindle document file and the cloud.

Link to the program.

I think there's also an option in your Amazon/Kindle account settings that you have to turn on for 'personal documents' (i.e. 3rd party books) to be added to the cloud.

Found it, I think: Your Account/Settings/Manage Your Kindle/Personal Document Settings/Personal Document Archiving

I'll check both those out, thanks.
