Kindle help: How do you download a new ebook to the Kindle from your e-mail?


Question Posted Tuesday July 3 2012, 1:39 am

I have a Kindle (normal Kindle). I got it for Christmas, I know how to use it perfectly fine. But I'm having an issue with something new I've never done before.
One of the books I purchased, the author said to email the review I had for the book to her and I would get a free kindle copy of her new book she had coming out. I did that and now a few months later, I have an email from her with the new kindle book she promised. She told me to just download the file to my Kindle but I'm not sure how. I don't know what folder to put the download in and I don't want to mess anything up.
The two folders I see are titled ".active-content-data" and "documents". The "documents" folder has the titles of the books I have downloaded in there but repeated multiple times with different file extensions. I thought that might be the correct folder but I want to ask just to make sure. I don't want to mess up my kindle and make it have any errors or things like that. I tried googling for an answer but I couldn't seem to type the right question phrase into Google that gave me any helpful information.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% sure, but this is what I would do. I have Windows 7, and so it may be different for you.

Open the attachment (ebook) in the e-mail, and download it on to your computer. The, copy and paste it into my computer > Documents > My kindle content.

Then, it may hopefully pop up. But like I say, I'm not 100% sure. Here is a link for transferring files via USB, on the Kindle Site:
