How can you transfer a Kindle book from a PC to a Kindle?

Q. I have several Kindle books on my PC , can I transfer them to my new Kindle without using Amazon Whispernet service?
A copy and past stuff maybe? I am, new to that thx.

A. To connect Kindle to your computer:

Plug the larger end of the USB cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub connected to your computer.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the micro-USB port on the bottom of your Kindle.
When 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 subscriptions 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 undock the device from your computer.

Original Question

What is the difference between ebooks, epub, and kindle books?
Q. Silly question, I know. But do Kindles only support amazon kindle books? Or can you buy and download any type of ebook from other websites to a kindle?

A. Hey bunny, asking 2-nd time? Anyways, Kindle supports PDF so you can side load books however it doesn't support ePub format that is the universal format most used in the world (thus most of free ebooks out there - including in other languages - are in ePub format.) Nook devices support ePub and are also technically much better eReaders. E-Ink Nook Simple Touch from Barnes & Noble at $99 (without ads) has twice the battery life of Kindle ($139 without ads), faster page turns than Kindle, and microSD card slot to expand capacity that neither Kindle has. With Nook you can checkout eBooks from public libraries - just need to get Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) software (free from Adobe site). Also it's worth mentioning that if you walk in with any Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you'll get tech support and youâre allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi where Nook eBook store has over 2.5 million of paid books and about the same number of free public domain books. Nook already has Cloud as your ebooks are stored in your online library as well as downloaded to your device. Nook Simple Touch actually has a hidden web browser - just press the virtual "Search" button at the bottom of your Nook's screen and key a URL into the search bar when it comes up. That's not just my opinion - Consumer Reports, CNET, PCWORLD, etc. pro reviews and recommendations stated that Nook Simple Touch is the best ereader on the market.

Original Question

How do I get free Kindle books?
Q. Please how do I download free Kindle books? I have gotten a few from the store but they're mostly classics. Cool titles some of 'em yeah but not many. Is it also possible to download eBooks that are Kindle compatible from other sites other than Amazon's.

A. Most for-purchase books are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) systems that are particular to the ereader. There are lots of places, however, which offer free, legal ebooks that will work on most ereaders. Sometimes it's a single format that most support (EPUB, TXT, PDF, etc); sometimes multiple ebook formats are listed per book.

The 14 sites listed here (Patricia Clark Memorial Library, ManyBooks, Project Gutenberg, Smashwords, Feedbooks, Baen, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Creative Commons Books, Google ebookstore, Internet Archive, Open Library, Sony Reader Store, and Kobo eBooks) have legal, free ebook downloads:

Also, if you master a good conversion tool such as Calibre,

http://calibre-ebook.com/

you'll gain access to more formats (such as EPUB) than just Kindle's native ebook file formats (AZW, MOBI, PDF).
