Special program needed on PC to recognise K?

1Bookworm · 08-25-2010, 04:58 AM

Hi,

Do I need to download a special program onto my laptop if I want to use the Kindle usb cable to transfer files and re-charge it?

For my blackberry (bb), I had to ask our IT dept to load a program so that my laptop would recognise the bb - this wasn't a problem since the bb and laptop belonged to the company. They might not be happy to do it for the Kindle since its a personal gadget.

Thanks for your help
Bernadette

The Kindle works with the PC just like a USB memory stick. No special software required.

Thank you pdurrant. Really happy to hear that. Can't wait to get mine - probably get to Australia mid Sept.
