A straight noob question

SupraT · 11-27-2014, 11:35 AM

Hey guys, there are sales on Amazon, and I wanna buy a Kindle, so I found a Kindle that costs 49$, it was 79$, so I'm excited to buy it for my father, because he wants something like this.

But my question is, is Kindle able to receive/read/view any Ebook (PDF) (DOC) from the computer?
If not, which I guess, is there any way to hack through that?

Thank you,

The Kindle displays its internal memory over USB.

Supported formats are MOBI/AZW/PRC, AZW3, PDF, TXT -- DOC(X) is not supported, but you can convert them with http://calibre-ebook.com
calibre is your new best friend,

it can manage and control all your ebooks and push them to the Kindle in the right formats as needed.

You can also email most document formats to Amazon, and they will be converted to Kindle format and stored in your Cloud storage space, from where the Kindle can download them.
