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

In some countries, Audible audiobooks are available for purchase from 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.
Tip: To pause the playing of an audio book, press the space bar on the keyboard and press the spacebar again to resume.
