Over the years I have made great use of the free books available on the Gutenberg website. Is it possible, with a Kindle via the internet, to take onboard for reading, books from Gutenberg? As the Kindle has a USB port, is it possible to connect it to the G5 and have it appear on the desktop, so that PDF and MP3 files can be dragged and dropped into it for reading and listening to?

Is it possible to buy and use a Kindle without getting ones self tied into the Amazon spider’s web?

The Kindle’s been around so long, I didn’t really consider how a lot of people have never seen one and plenty more have never attempted to attach it to a Mac. So let me clarify matters a little.

But Kindle eBooks also weren’t like print books. When you changed the font size, line spacing, or read the book on a different device, the “pages” became significantly different. However, now on supported devices it is possible to scroll down through a Kindle eBook just like you scroll through an article on a website online. The color Kindle edition of The Economist – US Edition is now available on the Kindle Reading App for your Android device. Download issues at no extra cost from Archived Items. The Kindle Edition of The Economist contains all of the articles and graphics found in. Plug one end of that USB cable into a Mac and the other into a Kindle, and the Kindle will announce it’s entering USB Drive Mode. A new volume, called Kindle, will appear on your Mac. The Amazon Kindle also natively supports various image and eBook file formats. Which non-AZW formats yours supports depends on which Kindle you have (Kindle, Kindle Fire, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard, etc.). You can find out more on the appropriate help page for your Kindle at Amazon's Kindle Support or in your device's manual. In order to get Kindle Books from Amazon, you must download the Kindle for Mac App on your Mac computer. You can buy and download kindle books in the Kindle App on Mac. You can remove the kindle books from app after you have read it. So you need to install kindle app on Mac to handle all tasks related to kindle books.

Yes, the Kindle has a USB port. (In fact, the USB port doubles as a charging port—the Kindle power adapter is a plug with a USB port and a USB cable!) Plug one end of that USB cable into a Mac and the other into a Kindle, and the Kindle will announce it’s entering USB Drive Mode. A new volume, called Kindle, will appear on your Mac. You can open it up and see the files inside. The key folders inside the Kindle volume are audible, documents, and music.

The audible folder is where audiobook files from audible.com live. music is a place where you can put MP3s and then play them back while you’re reading, and even listen via the Kindle’s headphone jack! But the most important folder is documents: this is where all your books, newspapers, and magazines live.

The good news is, Project Gutenberg and many other ebook resources offer downloads in a Kindle compatible format, usually Mobi. Some independent ebook sellers, such as Fictionwise, also sell books in Kindle-compatible format.

To copy a book to your Kindle, just drag the file into the Documents folder, eject the Kindle from your Mac, and unplug the USB cable. The book should automatically appear in the list of books on your Kindle.

So what if you’ve got a book that’s in ePub format, which the Kindle won’t read? Download the free app Calibre and use it to convert ePub files to Mobi. This open-source app isn’t easy to use, but once you figure it out, it will force those files into the right format. (Calibre won’t work with ePub files that are wrapped in copy-protection.)

Amazon also offers some file-conversion services itself. If you email a Microsoft Word file to [your-kindle-name]@free.kindle.com, you’ll find it automatically delivered to your device via Wi-Fi. For free!

Using a Kindle does require you have an Amazon account—Kindles generally come already paired with the Amazon account you used to buy them!—but that doesn’t mean you have to buy books from Amazon. If you want to use a Kindle just for free books from the Internet, you can do it.
