How do I transfer a book from my computer to my Kindle?

I'm told such a transfer can be made, but I have no instruction on how to do it. I'm also told that the reverse can also be done somehow. I'm a newbie, so please give me step by step instructions. Thanks

The best thing is to contact Kindle customer service. Use your computer and sign in to your amazon account. Click the arrow next to your account..at top of page to right of search box. Select your account from the list. look down the page in same column for Kindle Help. Click kindle help home. On next page to the left look for the box that says contact us. Click that and follow instructions. Give a brief explaination and ask them to call you back. They usually as for a time so you can be ready to work at their direction.

SOURCE: i cannot get the list

on the bottom of the unit is a small hole for resetting the unit. Take your stylus, unscrew the pointer end and use the smaller end of it to press into the reset hole. Let the reader reset and you should have your books. Kindle has had this issue for some time with the reader that came with the free ebooks. The solution was a simple one to fix.

What you need to do is double click on the kindle icon. A new window will appear showing the files on your kindle. Make sure that the files you are placing on your kindle are going to the documents folder of your kindle.

Transfer books from Kindle to iPad

You are able to move the books to computer, and then sync ebooks to iPad with iTunes. When the Kindle users connect their Kindle tablets to computer with the USB cable, their computers will recognize their Kindle tablets as external hard drives. Then the users can copy and paste the ebooks from Kindle to computer easily. After that, the users are able to sync the books from computer to iPad with iTunes.

This is easy to be done. But when users begin to sync their iPad with iTunes, they may come up with the sync problems of iTunes. The problem may come up when users sync ebooks from iTunes to iPad. During the sync, iTunes will erase all the non-purchased items in your iPad mini. If you are new to iOS devices, you will probably lose files during the sync with iTunes, so you'd better close the auto sync and manually sync the ebooks to your iPad mini with iTunes. The following tutorial will be helpful if you aren't sure about how to accomplish the task:
  1. Start iTunes and go to "Edit > Preference > Devices", and check "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically".
  2. Plug iPad into computer via USB cable, and the software will recognize your iPad and display the iPad icon at the upper right corner.
  3. Click the iPad icon and choose "Books" in the summary panel. Choose the books you want to sync to iPad in the list below, and click "Apply" to start.

I have a new kindle. Can I tranfer my books onto from my old one?

You can easily load all of your books onto your new Kindle. Amazon retains a record of all your book purchases in an archive. When you register your new Kindle (and turn on wireless) it 'phones home' to Amazon and Amazon places an entry on your main menu entitled Archive. Just click on that entry and all of your past book purchases will appear and will automatically be downloaded to the Kindle when you click on them.

However, if your old Kindle contained any books, pictures, or documents that you did NOT purchase from Amazon, those items will not appear in the Amazon archive. You will have to download those items to your new Kindle the same way you installed them on the old Kindle. If the only location of those un-archived documents is the old Kindle, then this will become a two step process because you cannot copy from one Kindle directly to another. Instead you must copy the documents off the old Kindle onto a computer using the USB cable, and then copy the books from the computer onto the new Kindle by way of the USB cable or by email using an authorized email account. (To authorize an email account for sending books to your Kindle, please visit Amazon's "manage my devices" section. If the new Kindle is not registered, or if it is blacklisted, then you cannot use the email method to transfer the books. The only way to install books on an unregistered Kindle is directly via USB cable.)
