8.4 Audiobooks and MP3s

You can purchase, transfer, and play Audible audiobooks from Amazon and transfer
MP3 files to Kindle to play as background audio while you read.

Audible Audiobooks

Thousands of Audible audiobooks are available in the Kindle Store. Due to their large
file size, Audible purchases can only be delivered wirelessly to your Kindle via a Wi-Fi
connection. If Wi-Fi is not available at your location, you can purchase and download
Audible content from Audible.com through your Windows or Mac computer. You can
then transfer Audible content over USB to your Kindle's "audible" folder, so you can
listen to them on your Kindle. Your Audible audiobooks will appear on your Home
screen with your other documents. An Audible audiobook will have the word "audible"
preceeding the title to indicate that it is an Audible audiobook.

Audiobook Formats for Kindle

Audible.com offers four versions of its audiobook format. Kindle is compatible with
format 4 and Audible Enhanced Audio (AAX). Formats 2, 3, and audiobooks provided
from other sources are not supported.

Transferring Audiobooks

To transfer audiobooks to your Kindle, follow these steps:
1. Connect your Kindle to your computer, using the USB cable that came with the
device.
2. Your Kindle should appear on your computer in the same location you would
normally find an external USB drive.
3. Open your Kindle. You should see a folder entitled "audible." Drag any audiobooks
you want to play on your Kindle into this folder.
4. Using your computer, eject your Kindle from your computer. The content you
transferred should now appear in Home.
