(Kindle question in a Nook thread - now moved)

edman44 · 11-22-2015, 06:30 PM

Hi Friends,

I am new to eBooks. Well, frustration has kept me away for about a year. I am now really wanting to figure out how to use calibre. My only problem is (and has been) locating the kindle books on my laptop, so I can add them to the calibre library. I have searched my laptop over and over, but cannot find my kindle content. I tried the usual recommendations from Google and other sources, with no luck. Any help would be awesome.

FYI... I am using the Kindle for PC app.

You don't mention what version of Windows you're using. On my computer, Windows 7, the Kindle files are located in:

*Username*/My Documents/My Kindle Content

Also, you might get more detailed help with Kindle files in one of the Kindle forums here at Mobileread, or in a Calibre section. Someone using Kindles might not be checking a Nook-related thread.

@edman44,

Kindle questions rightfully belong in the Kindle forum, not the Nook forum. You'll get more answers there.

But I recommend you make sure you are using the win32 version of Kindle for PC -- not the Metro app, which you might well be using if your laptop is Windows 8 or 10.
The Metro app won't work at all -- it's an app, it uses weirdly obfuscated app storage instead of the "My Kindle Content" folder.

@edman44:

Your post was in the General Discussion Forum, in a thread related to B&N's action of having removed the download option from its site.

Since your question IN NO WAY is concerned with this issue, but rather with the Kindle and with an entirely different issue, your post has been moved to the KINDLE FORUM.

Please take the time now to look over our site.
