Finding free books

- You can find free books by opening the Kindle store on your PC and then sorting books by price from low to high.

- Download books from resources like Feedbooks.com,. (feedbooks.com/kindleguide) direct to your Kindle. Sites like Gutenberg.org keep a catalog of

public domain eBooks

that you can download and transfer to your Kindle.

To transfer a PDF eBook to your Kindle

- Plug your Kindle into a Mac or PC to use it in mass storage mode.

- Open up the drive.

- Navigate to books.

- Drag and drop books from your PC to your Kindle. PDFs are readable natively, though some Kindle features may not work.

Thanks for your comment. You're right; the video doesn't deal with converting PDFs, though the title clearly said it did. I have rectified this by changing the title. Clearly there was a miscommunication when this was posted.

I watched this video, but there is nothing in here about converting PDF's as your title indicates- just putting them on your Kindle. I use Calibre to convert PDF files, as the text is too small on a PDF, and the text size adjustment on the Kindle does not work unless it is converted.
