New to ebooks!

Hi All. I have just purchased a Kindle and am trying to find out about downloading to my computer and transferring to my Kindle. I understand I need a USB cable. I already have 2 USB cables - one for my digital camera and one for my MP3 player. Are these cables ok for use with a Kindle? Thanks.

Welcome to MobileRead, Malachi.

Do you have a K1 or K2? You should have gotten a usb cord with your kindle.

PS.......when you do connect to your computer, be sure and put the books into the "documents" folder, NOT the 'e-books" folder.......

Thanks. I have a K2 and the only cord that came with it is the power cord to charge the Kindle.

From the Kindle quick start guide.

"Charge your Kindle by plugging it into a U.S.-compatible
electrical outlet. You can also detach the USB cord
from the power adapter* and connect it to a computer
to charge your Kindle or to transfer data."

Do you have the quick start guide? There should be a users guide loaded onto your kindle also. Here is a link to them online.........download the pdf versions to your computer.
