Transfer An eBook To A Kindle Via USB

To transfer a public library ebook to a Kindle via USB, first you will need to check out a Kindle Book from the South Dakota Titles to Go site. Then follow these steps:

1. If you have not already downloaded the .azw ebook file to your computer, open the Manage Your Kindle page.
1. You'll see Your Kindle Library. To the right of the book title you want to transfer to your Kindle, click Actions.
2. Select "Download & transfer via USB."
3. You may be prompted to open or save the file; choose "Save" and select a location that is easy to find again, such as the desktop. The file you download will end with .azw.
2. Connect your Kindle to your computer using the USB cable. Plug the larger end of the USB cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub connected to your computer, and the smaller end into your Kindle.
3. When connected to your computer, your Kindle will go into USB drive mode and you won't be able to use the device. Your Kindle will appear in the same location as external USB drives usually appear. For Windows users, this is typically in the "Computer" or "My Computer" menu. For Mac users, the drive will appear on the desktop.
4. Open the Kindle drive. You will see several folders inside, one of which will be named "documents." This is the folder you will move your downloaded Kindle content into.
5. Locate your downloaded file, and drag and drop it into the correct file.
6. Safely eject your Kindle from your computer, then unplug the USB cable. The file you transfered will now appear on your Kindle Home screen.
