2. Connect the Kindle reader to your computer using the USB cable supplied with the Kindle. The Kindle's memory and memory card will appear as a new drive attached to your computer.
3. Copy the ebook file into the "documents" directory on the Kindle.
4. Disconnect the USB cable and the new book should appear in the Kindle's directory. That's it!. It's that simple.

A note on the file extensions used for the Mobipocket/Palm/Kindle format. Older books will have the .PRC extension. This was the original extension used by Mobipocket when they first introduced the format and was shared by the PALM DOC format. Newer files will have the .MOBI extension which more properly separates the Mobi format from the Palm DOC format.

Palms don't really care about file extensions, they use an internal file signature to decide what program runs a given file. The software for moving the file from your PC to the Palm however may not like the new .MOBI extension and claim that it doesn't recognize the file. All you need to do is rename the file with a .PRC extension and it will load fine. This only applies to Palm devices. The Kindle will take either extension.
