Transfer from a Computer to Your Kindle Keyboard

If you don't have a wireless connection, you can transfer books, magazines, or newspapers from a computer to your Kindle Keyboard via USB.

    Be sure to remember to which folder you download your content file. You will transfer your content from this folder to your device.
  4. Connect your device to your computer.
  5. Open the Documents or Internal Documents folder.
  6. Locate the downloaded file on your computer, and then drag and drop the compatible file into the appropriate folder. Depending on your device type, the folder names may vary.
  7. Safely disconnect your device from your computer once the transfer is complete.
