How to transfer ebooks from computer to Kindle app?

[eugenedc]

I just switched from ios to android and am in need of some help! I downloaded the kindle app and tried to transfer some mobi books to the 6p. I connected the phone to the computer and changed the usb notification to "USB for file transfer". I can see some folders in the internal storage such as music, pictures and movies, but don't see one for kindle books. I also downloaded an amazon book from the cloud to the phone within the kindle app thinking that it may create a folder, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you could upload the books to play books and use the play book app to read them. you might want to convert to epub or pdf

Go to the kindle settings on the Amazon website using a PC. They provide you with an email address you can email ebooks to that will add them to your kindle. As a matter of fact the email address is in the kindle apps settings.

I knew about emailing the book to the kindle email account, but I prefer to just transfer via the computer. Here's how I finally got it to work in case others also have this problem:

1. Downloaded a file manager app (ES File Explorer), which sees the Kindle folder.
2. Uploaded a book to a cloud storage account (OneDrive).
3. Copied the book from OneDrive to 6p using ES File Explorer.
4. Connected phone to computer, which now sees the kindle folder.
