Is this the way forward now then ?

I attach my kindle to the pc and then just copy the files directly from the pc drive or an external one. I have never found a way for the kindle to browse an external source directly but it appears in explorer as a drive so you can copy to it.

how did you get your kindle to connect via usb my computer windows 7 recognises it as a media playing device only and there is no driver to install kindle said to do factory reset but i will loose everything - been told it wont connect to pc without an androide driver any ideas how to do

Go to computer from the start menu, where you see kindle as a portable media player just double click the icon and it should open up an internal storage icon, double click that and then you will get a list of folders, go to the documents folder and copy and paste your manuals folder over to it.

Good Luck

Have you tried re booting the kindle and then connecting to pc again. If that doesnt work, re boot the pc worth the kindle still connected. One of those scenarios can sometimes prompt the drivers to re install.

I use the ipad, getting them on is a bit of a pain as I had to set up a local web server with the pdfs on. Then browse to the local ip address and file name and it will open on the ipad and appear on the bookshelf for off line reading. Not the most seamless of actions. Will be interested to hear how others get on as I am sure I have made hard work of this. My kindle old school is poor at pdfs which made me go the ipad route. Hope the new one is better.

Do you take it to work? I am thinking about a laptop or something for when u need to look up mi,s
