Once you download your book file, it is up to you to know good file management (or learn real quick), because you then need to get that file from wherever you downloaded it (you DO remember where you put it, right?) to the Documents folder on your Kindle (not the documents folder on your computer). Unless your books is placed in the Documents folder on your Kindle, reading it on your Kindle isn't going to happen. And unless you have special software on your computer that can open and display any of the above mention file types, it isn't going to be happening on your computer either.
Sometimes it helps to make sure you are comfortable with the basics. The rest will come easily then. File management is important. So is dragging and dropping files from one place to another. And being comfortable with file extensions is another important skill.
Over the next few daze, I'm taking you back to the basics. Be sure to share with your new computer user friends ok? Oh... and all this is covered in my Kindle Skills book too!
