Cait Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Hi, like many, I was fortunate to get a KIndle for Christmas and I'm loving it. I've downloaded loads and I've read 5 Christmassy novels already. However, I'm one of those folk who rarely read novels twice, and I'm wondering if there's any way I can shift the 5 off the kindle and onto the laptop, just in case I want them again, rather than deleting them. I don't particularly want them cluttering up the Kindle if I'm not going to look at them again. Quote
SueFinanceManager Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Someone with more knowledge may well be along soon but as an interim solution you could create a folder and call it 'Read stuff' or the like and move them into there. I have a folder for new stuff/yet to read and then once I have I put in folder either by genre or author....Makes it a bit tidier Quote
Cait Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 I've tried that, but I can't find how to move them - created a folder ok though Quote
SueFinanceManager Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Enter the folder then press menu and there is an option to add or remove item....press add and a list of your books will appear and then select the ones to move into the folder....hope that makes sense Quote
Cait Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 Thanks, I've done that, they are now in that folder (Read(5) ) but also still in the main folder too Quote
Inge Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) download the kindle for PC and then you can transfer them to that... or I also have calibre installed which also stores the books but also allows you to convert them to kindle, doesn't always work but I have a few books i downloaded for free and converted successfully. also allows you to find the cheapest place to buy from Edited January 1, 2012 by Inge Quote
Inge Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 This made me check mine and you can just download them from archived material onto your PC once bought or sent to Kindle.. Those from Amazon anyway... I have a lot of converted books my sister sent me so I have to transfer those there, but as she emailed them it was easy. Quote
Cait Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 Aha, thanks for encouraging me to experiment. I've 'deleted from device' and they are now in my archive folder, not on the main screen. Quote
Inge Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Im back again... been browsing and found a few sites for free kindle books, download to pc and transfer type ones... found lots I was looking for and will now re read.. just download in the right format. Pixel of Ink many books Quote
