How to transfer library Kindle Books via USB

Note: Kindle Books are currently available for U.S. libraries only.

In most cases, library Kindle Books can be delivered wirelessly to your device instead of via USB, as long as your Kindle has a Wi-Fi connection.

Otherwise, you can transfer a library Kindle Book to your Kindle via USB, using these instructions:

  1. On Amazon's website, go to your "Manage Your Content and Devices" page.
  2. Find the title in the "Content" list, then select actions icon.
  3. Select Download & transfer via USB in the pop-up window.
  4. Follow Amazon's prompts to finish the transfer. If you have any problems, these instructions from Amazon may help.
