When I had a Kindle Voyager, I finally figured this out. Now it seems the rules are different for a Kindle Fire??
I have ebooks on the Fire but in my Amazon Digital Contents page, they show as .docs, and are not showing up under Books. Why is Amazon showing a format other than what I actually have? If the ebook is in a .mobi format, I thought it was supposed to show up in Amazon under Books. That's how it worked with the Voyager. |

Anything you send to the fire will show up in the docs tab. It does not necessarily have a .doc. I have sent PDF to a fire. They show up in Docs. I have sent mobi, it shows up in docs. It does not have a .doc. A fire is not an ereader. A fire is a tablet with the kindle app. Your fire cannot and will not act like an ereader. Oh by the way, I shall attempt to get this moved to the proper forum. |

Thanks for the helpful response. I may return the Fire, since I already have an iPad. I want an ereader, not another tablet that features I don't need.

Unless you do many graphic books. My old fire I use for cookbooks. For straight reading, give me anything else. |
