How to Transfer E-Books From PC to Kindle Fire via USB

You can transfer files to and from your Kindle Fire as if it were an external hard drive using a USB cable:

Connect your Fire tablet to your computer with one of the best micro-USB cables. If this is your first time connecting the Fire tablet to a computer, swipe down from the top of the tablet’s screen and tap USB charging this device. You can skip to step 4 if your PC already has access to your tablet. Tap Transfer files to allow access to the device. On your computer, open the device folder and select Internal Storage. Drag-and-drop MOBI files in the Books folder, and place PDFs and other files in the Documents folder. Disconnect the tablet from the PC. After you add your files, you may need to restart the Kindle to get it to recognize the new books.

Send E-Books to Kindle via Email

It’s also possible to send files from your PC to your Kindle Fire using a special email address. To find your Kindle email address on newer Fire devices, open the Docs app and tap Email Docs to your Fire under Send-to-Kindle. When you attach a file to an email and send it to the specified address, the file automatically appears in Docs.
