![]() I believe there is at least one wireless solution for connecting your Kindle to your Calibre, but in the end I stuck with using the USB connection, as by the time I need to move some books around, I need a recharge, so i get a two for one deal (load and charge). Once a week or so, I sit down at the PC, remove some books from my Kindles, mark them as read on Calibre (tag 'read'), add some new books to the appropriate kindle ('paperwhite' for reading in bed, 'keyboard' for text to speech while commuting) and tag the books I am currently reading in Calibre by the device they are on. My 1263 (current count) works are stored on Calibre, I download from Amazon, Smashword, Baen, Project Gutenberg, etc. I won't go into all it's advantages but, essentially it is your own personal library, that you can organize and store you books on, regardless of where it comes from. Transferring books from one Kindle to another via USB is a reliable method that works in the absence of WiFi or in the presence of a slower internet connection. The only disadvantage the Calibre has it is a bit more difficult to connect wirelessly to your collection. I searched for solutions and read many articles & blogs, I strongly desired an Amazon/Kindle solution, the majority pointed to a single solution which I eventually adopted. Follow Amazons prompts to finish the transfer. Select Download & transfer via USB in the pop-up window. Find the title, then select More actions. With the checkbox selected, syncing is set to transfer all your books. I was trying to keep track organized with an Excel book. Otherwise, you can transfer a library Kindle Book to your Kindle via USB, using these instructions: On Amazons website, go to your 'Content & Devices' page, then select Books. Select the Sync books onto device name checkbox to turn on syncing of your books. I personally have some OCD issues that require my books be in some kind of order that is not primary based on who I bought it from and when. If you have works from anyplace else, then the prospects get worse. A progress bar updates as the book downloads. Once the device is recognized by your computer, you will see the device name appear in the My Books tab and a green Transfer to Device button will appear over. If you're on a mobile device, select the book cover. If you're on a computer, double-click on the book cover. If every book on your devices is from Amazon, then you can do some organizing at 'Your Account' > 'Manage Your Device' > 'Your Kindle Library' or by using the cloud. The Kindle Cloud Reader app allows you to read content online. The Barnes & Noble Nook e-books and Amazon’s Kindle e-books use different formats, but dedicated users have shown it is possible to convert and read Nook books on an Amazon device. I am guessing you have already found Amazon's Organizing Your Kindle Content.
