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.
