Quick Fact
Many eBook readers, like the Amazon Kindle, use e-ink screens. These black and white screens do not reflect sunlight the way a shiny tablet LCD screen does and do not have built-in lights. This makes them easier on the eye when reading for long periods of time.
One of the most popular eBook readers available in the market, the Amazon Kindle is a user-friendly device with a simple design and easy to use interface. eBook readers are a delight for all bookworms on the go. Reading novels, periodicals and documents is easy with these devices. There are many variants of the Kindle available in the market. Some act as eBook readers only, while there are models with additional functions that work as tablets.

More About the Amazon Kindle
Among the headline models of Kindle available in the market, the Amazon Kindle Basic, Amazon Kindle Keyboard, Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 3G are eBook readers, while the new 8.9-inch and 7 inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD are tablets.
While it may be a delightful eBook reader, the Kindle has its own set of problems. Basically, it does not read all eBook formats, and therefore transferring eBooks to Kindle can be slightly tricky. Popular eBook formats like EPUB do not work for Kindle. AZW, MOBI, TXT and watermarked PDF can be read on Kindle. Once you have downloaded or purchased the eBook with a compatible format, you can transfer it to the Amazon Kindle via USB, using Kindle Personal Documents Service or with the 'Send to Kindle'.
Transfer via USB
» Connect the Kindle to the computer using the USB cord that is packaged with the reader. The Kindle will go into USB drive mode and you won't be able to use the device while it is plugged to the computer.
» The Kindle will appear as a removable drive on the computer. If you are using Windows then it will appear in the "My Computer" menu, while Mac users can check it on their desktop.
» Double-click to open the Kindle drive. It would contain a lot of folders. Locate the ''documents'' folder. This is where the eBook will be transferred.
» Copy the eBook from the location where it is stored on your computer. Paste it in the ''documents'' folder. Alternately, you can drag and drop the file in the appropriate location.
» Once the transfer is done, eject the Kindle and remove the cable.
» The eBook should now appear on the Kindle reader and is now available to read.
