How Do I Find My Samples?

disney_mommy · 07-24-2011, 10:25 AM

My K2 died yesterday, but in a wonderful ironic twist, I knew I would be receiving the K3 for my birthday later that evening. Now I've got everything set up with my new kindle, but I need to find my samples! In the past, whenever I found a book that looked interesting, or someone suggested, I would send a sample to my kindle, that way when I had time, I could start it and decide whether to get it. But they aren't showing up on my K3 and I didn't keep a list (I know, stupid). Does anyone know how I can find that list, or get the samples to my K3? It was probably 2 dozen or so.

You'll have to re-download them. Samples don't appear in the Archive.

Do you by any chance have a backup of the Documents file from your K2? It's been a while since I did this, and when I replaced my K2 it was planned, so I had saved the file on my computer, but then I looked through and all my books and samples were there and the samples have a different extension than the books, don't remember what it is now. Then I just did a click and drag from there to the K3.

Yep. Unless you had a backup, your samples are gone. Amazon does not keep a list of them.

Crap, these are not the answers I was hoping for. Thanks for letting me know anyway.
