About Kindle Files

​

(1) You Don't Need A Dedicated Kindle Device To Read Kindle Files

 

You do not need a Kindle device to read books in the Kindle digital format.

​​

You can download Kindle Reader software free of charge. Just google 'Kindle Reader software' and take you pick of all the download options. It runs on just about any device: desktop, laptop, tablet or phone.

​​

A book in Kindle format has the .mobi file extension. This is just like any other file — you can save it to any directory you want, on any device you own.

​

(2) Downloading And Installing

​​

If you download Kindle files from Amazon, the file automatically ends up in the correct directory on your device.

​

When you download a Kindle file from my site, you may have to do a little bit of extra work — but it's not hard and it will work. Thousands of readers have downloaded my Kindle books and said they can read them just fine.

​

You just have to load the file into whichever directory your Kindle Reader software 'expects' to find books in.

​

If you want to save the file so you can read it on your phone, you will have to save it to some other device, such as a laptop or tablet, before you then copy it to your phone. I don't know why you have to do this. It's just the way the universe works.

​

​If you have any problems, just google how to 'side load Kindle file' and you'll find tutorials and explanations galore. 'Side loading' just means moving a .mobi file to the right directory so the Kindle Reader software can see it and open it. It's so easy even I, as a humble freelance writer, can do it.
