Mandatory Inatroduction

Hi all, just received a Kindle 2 yesterday and am delighted. Still learning it and thinking maybe I need some help. I downloaded 1984 from a free site, it is stored in my documents. How do I get it off the computer and onto the Kindle. Thanks for any help. fayede

Hi and Welcome to the forum.

There are two ways. Copy the file to your Kindle using your USB connection. Or, email the file to your Kindle's email address and turn on Whispernet.

This assumes of course that you have a Mobipocket or Text version of the book.

.azw is a Kindle book format. So you should be good to go, just copying it to the Kindle's documents folder. (I think it is documents folder.)
