Well Mr Diaper, I posted in near complete ignorance of various issues and you chose to make a joke of it. I don't lik that. Your "crystal ball" is just that - 'Balls". If you continue to mock people who come here asking questions which you find so basic and laughable as to be 'angling for a fight' then many people like me will go elsewhere. Nobody needs your attitude.

You in your arrogance decided that I was 'at it' instead of seeing that I didnt know anything, and you claimed to be all seeing and wanted to flush me out. Well diaper, everything I have posted here is completely straight and above board, and I dont need people like you to decide that I am some kind of fake. You should get off this site right now if you want to continue as you you did to me. Get out of my life. Forget my attitude to you, you are damaging this site.

I'm off.

Thank you Zeebra for your helpful info. It is noted.

Yes Skydog, I saw your adverserial pantswetting humour at your mate's fantastic joke. So please dont lecture me on lightening up.

Bye now

But getting back to the original question: if you don't yet own an e-book reader of any sort, you'll probably be wanting detailed directions. So...if you want to put a book from Project Gutenberg (or from this site or from any other non-Amazon place on the Internet) onto your Kindle, you will need to:

1) Download the version of the file most appropriate for your device (usually that will be .mobi, .prc, or .azw, though many other file formats are more or less readable as well).

2) Consult the video on this Kindle support page to see how to transfer the file. (You can skip the first 1:35 or so of the video, as that part is mostly concerned with manually transferring purchased Amazon content.)
Thanks Kevin. That's all I asked, and I'm happy you helped.

No need for any of that. Just download the file, double click it in Windows Explorer, and it will automatically open in Kindle for PC.

Can't be. Not enough obscene spam.

Why on earth would you think that?

Personally, I come for the entertainment value. If I actually learn something, it's a bonus.
