How to Get E-Book Content to Kindles

Kindle is Amazon.com's digital reading and publishing platform, which is accompanied by a dedicated e-reader device with an E Ink display that simulates print and paper. E-books can be purchased and downloaded directly from the Amazon.com online bookstore on the Kindle e-reader device. You can also transfer your existing library of e-books to the Kindle via USB cable or by emailing the e-books from a computer.
