Adding non-Amazon purchased ebooks

Staked · 12-07-2011, 12:24 AM

Hi folks. New Kindle Touch owner here and I have a question. I own a half dozen or so DRM-free ebooks in Mobi format that I'd like to get on my Kindle Touch. I know I can just email them to my Kindle email, but I'd also like them available via Kindle on my Android and PC without having to manually add them to each device. Is this possible?

ETA: Oh, and if it isn't possible, does it hurt anything to manually add those titles to the Android/PC/Kindle devices separately?

AFAIK personal documents, including manually uploaded mobi-formatted ebooks, are not available over the cloud. I would love to see this feature too.

You will have to manually add them to the other devices but Kindle 3.3,K4, KT have a Personal Document Cloud feature that will synch with each other. The Kindle Fire is the only one that doesn't have access through the Archive Items or allow syncing. You have to go to your MYK page and send it to the Fire that way. There is no Personal Docs Feature for K4PC or Kindle Apps. Also you can't synch personal documents on Kindle Apps or Kindle Fire yet.

For Kindle for PC, just copy the books into the "My Documents\My Kindle Content" folder and they'll show up in the library.
