nooby has lots of questions
Got my first Kindle 48 hours ago and LOVE it. Done a lot of things with it but do have a lot of (stupid?) questions.
If I may, I'll ask them one at a time here. Here is #1: I tried to drag/drop an .epub file from computer to Kindle; nothing told me that it did not go but I do not see it on the Kindle; is it there, just wasting storage space? Or did it not go there? (yes, I know, I should NOT have done that since Kindle can't handle an .epub file) |

Yes, it is there, "just wasting space". You can see it if you plug into your computer and open Kindle like a flash drive. Books go in "Documents" and if they're the right format, they show up.

If the epub is not protected by drm, then you could use Calibre (they have a subforum on this site) to convert it to MOBI, the format used by the kindle. Then it could be dragged or sent by calibre to the kindle.
Enjoy. |

Welcome to MobileRead StickMaker.
certainly look into Calibre to help you manage converting your ePub books to a Kindle friendly format. Hope you enjoy your Kindle. |
