- FpUser 2y agoSame. I keep it as a reader for my mother and upload books to it using USB.
- LeafItAlone 2y agoWhere do you source your books? I love my Kindle as an ereader and I get the books from my library, which sends them to my Kindle via Amazon. So I am connected to the internet.
- lm28469 2y agoI read classics and old books, the authors are long dead so I don't feel bad about downloading these. If you mostly read niche or brand new books it probably isn't as good. You can find a lot on project Gutenberg, archive.org, &c.
- internet_points 2y agoNote that if you ever do, it'll delete stuff you've added to it. I connect mine to the net every week or so (I like the translate feature, and use some pocket-to-kindle thing), but if I ever leave it for over a month or so it deletes my books. (Fortunately it's easy to get them back from calibre, but very annoying.)
- waonderer 2y agoSame. The blog says, "Download & Transfer via USB" option will no longer be available, but "You can continue to sideload e-books on your Kindle via USB cable". What is the difference? How is sideloading different from normal USB Transfer?
