== How do Kindle users download a book to read? == | |||
The Kindle can display a number of different file formats: | |||
“The fourth/fifth generation Kindles, Kindle Touch, Kindle Touch 3G, and Kindle Paperwhite can display AZW, TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, and PRC files natively. HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP are usable through conversion. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Kindle#File_formats]) | |||
Safari Books offered three formats for e-book that I wanted to download: PDF, MOBI and ePub. NOTE: Not all e-books are downloadable. | |||
I searched for and found the book I wanted to read, clicked “Download”, then selected the .MOBI format. Then I plugged my Kindle into my computer, found the MOBI file I had downloaded and moved the it into the Kindle “Documents” folder. I turned on my Kindle and there was the book on my local device ready to read. | |||
Context: I had already signed up for an account through ServiceNow. This info was gleaned from using a Mac and a 1st gen Kindle Paperwhite to download and display “JavaScript: The Good Parts” by Douglas Crockford, 2008 edition, [http://techbus.safaribooksonline.com/book/programming/javascript/9780596517748?bookview=overview]. | |||
