You add ebooks not bought from Amazon to your Kindle by downloading the books to your PC and then connecting the Kindle to the PC using its USB port. The Kindle will appear in your computer's folder structure just like a USB stick. You then copy the books from your computer to the Kindle.

∙ 13y agoTo buy books on a kindle, you generally need to start by setting up an account with Amazon first. Once there's an associated credit car, you can download books. (Many are free, but you still need to have an account.) There are other sites that you can download from; this is explained on the kindle website at Amazon.

2. If you bought the books from Amazon but using your computer (wireless is off on your Kindle, or connectivity is too low), then go to Your Account, and click on Manage your Kindle. Scroll down and you'll see the list of books you've ordered. In the left hand side there's a drop-down box that says "Deliver to..." Click on the arrow and choose "Transfer via computer". You'll be prompted to say which device you're going to use it on. Choose the name of your Kindle. Once the download is complete, move the book to your Kindle just like below:
3. If you have unprotected out-of-copyright books from online sites such as Project Gutenberg, then make sure they're a format that the Kindle can read, and then:
- download those to your computer, and then go to the folder where you've downloaded them.
- Copy to clipboard (Ctrl + C).
- Plug the Kindle in your computer using the USB cable.
- Go to My Computer. Note the Kindle drive (just like a normal USB drive).
- Click on the Kindle drive, see a bunch of folders, open "Documents".
- Paste the book here (Ctrl + V)
Eject the Kindle or unplug it. Click Home on your Kindle. In a couple of seconds the screen will refresh and you'll see your new book.
