Actually, the Kindle file extensions are now either .azw, or.kf8.

Thanks.

 Hi, Alan. I only have a couple of Kindle books but they are on my PC 
with azw extensions and one is 15MB and the other is 26MB. I assume 
this is their original and complete format so I'm not really sure what 
you mean. The filenames are a bit cryptic since they contain no title 
but just a book number. I don't disagree with your assessment of the 
Kindle for PC program but it seems once you've downloaded it, Amazon 
keeps track of that and gives you the option to save a new Kindle 
purchase to either your iDevice or your PC. At least it did for me.




 There was a pretty good thread on this issue from Neal Ewers a while 
back but I guess you missed it.

 Alan, I'm talking about storing the books on your computer in their 
origenal format not as a book number.  You've paid for the book so why 
can't you keep it on your computer and back it up to DVDEs in the 
origenal format. I had the Kindle reader accessible version on my 
computer and didn't think much of it.

   Actually, if you have the Kindle for PC program installed, Amazon 
should give you an option to download the Kindle book to your PC or 
your iDevice. I have a folder called My Kindle Content that has Kindle 
books in it. Of course, they are named with numbers so you can't tell 
what they are by title but they are on my PC.

   What I don't like about the Kindle app is, your books get stored in 
the Kindle cloud.  You can either store them on your device or in the 
cloud but you cannot store them on your computer.  That means you 
cannot copy them to your external hard drive.  The cloud is fine as 
long as you have access to it.

Hi Alan,
My Kindle books are inside my documents folder, in a folder also named, My 
Kindle Content.

You can rename the book files such as,
B00C4ZHD0O_EBOK.azw
to,
Sully Street B00C4ZHD0O_EBOK.azw
If I open that file the Kindle  for PC reader will be launched and the book 
title will be on the screen.

Then I just hit control plus r to read the book or space bar to stop.

  Hi Alan,
  My Kindle books are inside my documents folder, in a folder also named, My 
Kindle Content.
  You can rename the book files such as,
  B00C4ZHD0O_EBOK.azw

  Sully Street B00C4ZHD0O_EBOK.azw
  If I open that file the Kindle  for PC reader will be launched and the book

 Hi, Alan. I only have a couple of Kindle books but they are on my PC with 
azw extensions and one is 15MB and the other is 26MB. I assume this is their 
original and complete format so I'm not really sure what you mean. The 
filenames are a bit cryptic since they contain no title but just a book 
number. I don't disagree with your assessment of the Kindle for PC program 
but it seems once you've downloaded it, Amazon keeps track of that and gives 
you the option to save a new Kindle purchase to either your iDevice or your 
PC. At least it did for me.




 There was a pretty good thread on this issue from Neal Ewers a while back

   What I don't like about the Kindle app is, your books get stored in the 
Kindle cloud.  You can either store them on your device or in the cloud but 
you cannot store them on your computer.  That means you cannot copy them to 
your external hard drive.  The cloud is fine as long as you have access to

What I don't like about the Kindle app is, your books get stored in the
Kindle cloud.  You can either store them on your device or in the cloud 
but
you cannot store them on your computer.  That means you cannot copy them 
to
your external hard drive.  The cloud is fine as long as you have access 
to

it.

i was then able to hit control r and it started reading.
when it stops, hit down arrow one time then hit space to start the speech

this is rediculous, is there any way to read these azw files on a victor

Hi Alan,
My Kindle books are inside my documents folder, in a folder also named, My 
Kindle Content.
You can rename the book files such as,
B00C4ZHD0O_EBOK.azw
to,
Sully Street B00C4ZHD0O_EBOK.azw
If I open that file the Kindle  for PC reader will be launched and the book 
title will be on the screen.
Then I just hit control plus r to read the book or space bar to stop.

you cannot store them on your computer.  That means you cannot copy them to
your external hard drive.  The cloud is fine as long as you have access to
it.

So, only certain kindle books are able to be shared? How do you know which
ones?

Good morning, all.

I've started using the Kindle app for IOS. I've heard from a few people that
it's possible to loan books to other people who also use the app. However, I
haven't been able to figure out how to do this. Might someone be able to
tell me how?

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Storing Kindle Books on Your PC

2013-06-30 Thread Alan Paganelli 
Alan, I'm talking about storing the books on your computer in their origenal 
format not as a book number.  You've paid for the book so why can't you keep it 
on your computer and back it up to DVDEs in the origenal format.  I had the 
Kindle reader accessible version on my computer and didn't think much of it.

  Actually, if you have the Kindle for PC program installed, Amazon should give 
you an option to download the Kindle book to your PC or your iDevice. I have a 
folder called My Kindle Content that has Kindle books in it. Of course, they 
are named with numbers so you can't tell what they are by title but they are on 
my PC.
