Non-amazon books for Kindle

[secretlyevil]

How do I get random books onto my Kindle Fire? I have them in calibre as directed by the interwebz but still nothing, sending it to my kindle address and everything.

Can you connect your kindle via USB and copy the files? That's how I handle shared books.

[hopecounts]

using calibre convert them to mobi then connect your kindle it should show up on calibre then just move and drop them onto it.

Can you email them to yourself? Then, open them up on your Fire. It should use the reading app to open it.

The email doesn't seem to work. I've tried several times to email different things to myself. I will try the usb connection.

Is the e-mail you're sending the books from on your approved list in your account settings?

I have no idea. I will check this out.

ETA: Nope, it wasn't. I will re-try emailing myself the books and see what happens. Thanks.

Have you thought about downloading the Amazon program for your PC or Mac for files to all of your Kindle Devices?

I haven't seen that program before. It didn't come up with all my searching/Googling. I will have to check it out. Thanks.

It's a program directly from Amazon Kindle so it's safe. good luck!

It's called Send to Kindle.

Send to Kindle worked, email still didn't. Thanks ladies!
