Kobo and Kindle

[certainthings]

I've downloaded both Kobo and Kindle apps to my phone. I've had Kobo for awhile and I like it but I thought I'd try Kindle as well since it is also free.

I don't know if I'll buy any books but I will take a few of the free ones.

What I am wondering is. Is it possible to transfer books I have downloaded on my computer to either the Kobo and Kindle app?

I do have books on my phone like I mentioned the other day and I can read them just fine and dandy.

But. If there is away to transfer them to either app?

Well. That'd just be nifty.

The kindle is tied to your amazon account - I don't know how it works without an actual kindle - but every device on the account is given an email that you can send pdfs to. It appears on that device and is in the archives for all the other devices.

If I email a book to the kindle account, it's in queue - I can then pull it up from my kindle, iphone or kindle for pc. I can also sync/tether the kindle directly to the laptop and drag and drop to it.

Thank you so much for all your help. The emailing thing worked. :)

That's awesome! I was actually very curious to see if it would!

I transfer mine through my USB cable, so there is always that way. It is different for every phone, but most of the time if you're able to put music on your phone via a usb cable, you can put everything on it that way. Except from iPhones, they make it a bit more complicated to do that. To transfer it wirelessly, you would only be able to do so with things that you've gotten from Amazon. They do offer an array of free books, although none of them are that good.

I've an android. And I can transfer files and such but I'm not sure where to transfer it so that it shows up on the Kindle and/or Kobo.
