Chapter 4 Getting More From Your Kindle
Using Kindle with your computer
By connecting your Kindle to your computer via the supplied USB cable, you can add content to the Kindle without a Wi-Fi connection.
When you first connect the Kindle to a computer’s USB port, it will appear as an external storage drive or volume on the computer’s desktop. You’ll see a directory or folder called “documents.” You can add Kindle-compatible files to this directory, and you can copy, move, or delete the files that are already there. For more information about supported file types, go to www.kindle.com/support. Kindle is not usable as a reading device while in USB drive mode. To read a book while charging the battery, you must eject the Kindle from your computer’s desktop. The battery icon on the Kindle will have a lightning bolt to indicate that its battery is still being charged.
