CHAPTER 8
Kindle and Your Computer
Kindle uses Amazon Whispernet to deliver books, periodicals, personal documents, and audiobooks (via Wi-Fi delivery only)
to your Kindle without the need for a computer. Some Kindle content, such as MP3 files, must first be downloaded to your
computer and then transferred to your Kindle using USB. If Wi-Fi is not available at your location, you can download your
audiobook purchases using your computer's Internet connection, and then transfer them to your Kindle using USB. In addition,
there are other tasks you can accomplish using your computer as described in this chapter.
8.1 Getting Started
This section lists the requirements for connecting Kindle to your computer. The USB cable you use with your power adapter
can also be used to connect your Kindle to a computer, so there is nothing additional to buy.
System Requirements
Both Macintosh and Windows users can manage Kindle files through the USB connection. When your Kindle is plugged into
your computer, your Kindle will appear as a removable mass storage device. If your computer is Windows-based, you need to
be using Windows 2000 or later. If your computer is a Macintosh, you should be using Mac OS X 10.2 or later. With either
computer, you must have an available USB port or an attached USB hub with an available port.
Making the Connection
To connect Kindle to your computer, follow these steps:
Plug the larger end of the USB cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub connected to your computer.
1.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the micro-USB port on the bottom of your Kindle.
2.
The illustration below shows a Kindle and a laptop computer connected through the USB cable.
When you are connected to your PC, your Kindle will go into USB drive mode and its battery will be recharged by the
computer. Your Whispernet service is temporarily shut off and you will not receive any of your content while in this mode.
Also, your Kindle is not usable as a reading device while you are in USB drive mode, but will return right to where you were
when you eject it from your computer.
To eject Kindle from your computer, follow these steps:
Windows Vista and Windows 7:
Click on the Start button, select "Computer" from the options, right-click on the Kindle
drive icon and select "Eject" from the pop-up menu.
Windows XP:
Click on the "Safely remove hardware" icon in the lower right-hand corner of the task bar and follow the
