The Kindle may be listed with a different letter on your computer depending on your specific configuration.ĭouble-click the Kindle Drive to open it. Notice in this case the Kindle is listed as the “E Drive” on the computer.

Once you locate the MOBI file, right click on the file and choose “COPY.”Ĭonnect your Kindle to a USB port on your computer.
