These are both methods I use frequently with e-books that I didn’t get directly from Amazon. If you don’t have a Kindle device but instead use one of their free apps on your smartphone or tablet, click on the file, and designate it to open with the Kindle app on that mobile device.

Then import the mobi file(s) to the “documents” folder on your Kindle and you should have no problem. Make sure your computer recognizes that your device is plugged in. Take a deep breath, relax, and just plug your Kindle in to your computer. Some even searched for software to use to “convert” the file to another file type they assumed it needed to be in order to work on their Kindle device. I recently gave away Kindle books of mine, and I was surprised to see 80% of the people who downloaded them wrote me back asking how to put it on their Kindle device. If you have ever gotten an ebook that you can read on your Kindle, but you didn’t buy it or obtain it from Amazon, don’t worry.
