Many Books

Originally posted March 12, 2010 by Cindy O'Neal

You might want to take your Kindle and have it beside you when you graze for FREE books at manybooks.net. These are great additions to your Kindle library. Plug your Kindle in via the USB cable and transfer away! Remember to save your book files where you can find them when the time comes to transfer them to your Kindle. I like to save my stuff on the Desktop. It makes a great staging area until you decide what to finally do with them.

The Opened Shutters
by Clara Louise Burnham
Description (from manybooks.net):
A summer haunt on an island in Casco Bay is the background for this romance. A beautiful woman, at discord with life, is brought to realize, by her new friends, that she may open the shutters of her soul to the blessed sunlight of joy by casting aside vanity and self love. A delicately humorous work with a lofty motive underlying it all.

Note: This book is not free on Amazon. I did a search for it on the Kindle and discovered it was $9.99. If you want the free version, pick it up at manybooks.net!

Captain Blood

His Odyssey by Rafael Sabatini
This one made my heart go pitty pat when I was a kid. Of course the Errol Flynn movie made the old hormones race too! Now that was a man! (sigh)

Did I mention all the books on manybooks.net are free?

The Whitehouse Cookbook (1887)

I must still have cooking on the brain, at least cooking history, because I just could not resist sharing this too.

Taking it to the Kindle...
Find your book file on your Desktop, right click on it and choose Copy. Then connect your Kindle to your computer with the USB cable. Once connected, you should see a window with choices appear. Choose Open folder to view files with a single left click.

When your Kindle folder opens, click on the Documents folder to open it. Right in in any empty white area and choose Paste. This will put a copy of your book file right in the Documents folder on your Kindle, where it needs to be. Repeat the process for each book. Disconnect your Kindle from the computer and your new books should be at the top of your Home screen with the word New next to them.
