There’s a fantastic piece of software called Calibre that’ll let you convert between the two (and many other formats) with ease. One final note on ebook formats:Ī lot of the ebooks you’ll find outside of Amazon will be epub rather than mobi. But if you just want the one and your Kindle can cope, downloading it directly might be your fastest option (with email being fairly snappy if that doesn’t work).

I’ve arranged these methods from “very simple but may not work for everyone” to “more complicated but basically foolproof.” Personally I opt for Method Three because it’s very easy to transfer a whole bunch of books at once. A more comprehensive guide is available on Humble Bundle, which is a great place to get DRM-free books while funding worthwhile charities. You may need to make sure that you place the file in a folder on your Kindle labelled either “Documents” or “Books” (depending on the model).

Transfer the mobi (Kindle) book to your Kindle over USB.

(If your Kindle is password-protected, you may need to enter the password on the Kindle before its contents will be revealed.) Using the other device, you should be able to see everything stored on your Kindle exactly as if it were an external hard drive.

Plug your Kindle into that device using a USB cable.

Use another device to download the mobi (Kindle) book from Smashwords.

Simply search for the book on (or follow one of the links above if you’re reading this on your Kindle right now) and you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding the mobi file to download direct to your device. My decade-old Kindle Keyboard includes an “experimental” web browser which I’ve used to download books this way in the past. This should be very easy if you’re using a Kindle Fire (which is really more of a tablet computer than a dedicated e-reader), but may still be possible even if you’re using one of the more book-focused devices. Use your Kindle’s web browser to download the mobi (Kindle) book from Smashwords.These are the Kindle versions of those particular books, so feel free to test the process out with them (and if you enjoy my stories, please consider leaving a review!).
