You can download thousands of ebooks from Amazon for your Kindle e-reader. This practical tip shows you how an ebook can be downloaded directly from Kindle and PC.
Download ebooks directly to Amazon's Kindle
With the Kindle eReader, you can download ebooks directly quickly and easily. However, you have to make sure in advance that the Kindle can access a WiFi connection or alternatively has 3G.
- Before downloading, you usually have to buy the ebook from Amazon. To do this, first press the "Menu button" on your Kindle ebook reader and then decide on the "Shop in Kindle shop" option.
- If you would like to purchase an ebook from Amazon, press the "Buy" button on your Kindle. Your new ebook will then be displayed on the home page of the eReader.
- If the new ebook has not yet been downloaded, go to "Archive" in the "Menu" and click on the new book title. The Kindle then downloads the new ebook.
- Tip: If you have found an interesting work, but are still unsure whether it really meets your expectations, click the "Send sample" button. You will then receive the first pages of the ebook on your Kindle free of charge.
- For your security, the ebooks you purchase are not only stored on your Kindle, but also in your Kindle library in the Amazon cloud. You can download the purchased ebooks to other Kindle e-readers or your PC if necessary. The prerequisite is of course that the devices are registered on the same Amazon account.
- Tip: You can also subscribe to many newspapers and magazines on Amazon.
Download ebooks from Amazon on your PC
If you also want to save your ebooks on the computer, Amazon offers the Kindle software for PC.
- You can also use the program to download the ebooks you have already purchased to your PC.
- Of course, you can also purchase new ebooks on the computer and then read them both on the PC and on your Kindle.
- So that you always have the same status on all devices, synchronize the ebooks after making changes such as bookmarks or annotations in a book.
- If you want to drag the Ebook from your PC to the eReader, you must connect the Kindle to the computer via USB. We'll show you exactly how that works in another article.
