How do I add books that I purchase at BookStrand.com to my Kindle?

There are two methods for adding books to your Kindle. You may either send them to your Kindle wirelessly or you may send them using a USB cord.


First, you'll need to add BookStrand.com to your list of approved email addresses on your Kindle. Please note that Amazon charges a small fee for this (generally 15 - 25 cents). To do this:
  1. Log onto your Amazon.com account and select Manage Your Kindle.

  2. In the left hand navigation pane, select Personal Document Settings.

  3. Click on Add a new approved e-mail address. Type in @bookstrand.com

  4. Click Add Address.

Next, you'll need to add your Kindle address to your BookStrand.com account. To do this:

  1. Log onto to BookStrand.com with your user account information.

  2. Hover on your account name in the upper right-hand corner (next to the shopping cart), and select Account Settings tab.

  3. Under Kindle Address, enter the Kindle address assigned to your Kindle device (i.e., sarah.customer@kindle.com).

  4. Click Save Changes.
Then just purchase a book at BookStrand.com and click the Send to Kindle icon that is located next to the title in your bookshelf. Make sure your Kindle has a good wireless signal or else your books will not transfer.
Note that following these instructions will send a MOBI file to your Kindle wirelessly. If a MOBI is not available, a PRC or PDF will be sent. Please note a PDF is a less desirable format for your Kindle.

Send eBooks Using a USB Cord


  1. Purchase a book from BookStrand.com using your computer and save it locally.

  2. Connect your Kindle to your computer using your USB cord. Your Kindle will go into USB drive mode and you won't be able to use the device. Your wireless service is temporarily shut off and you will not receive any of your subscriptions while in this mode. 

  3. Your computer will recognize that the device is attached, and it should be listed as a drive under My Computer, or if you are using a Mac, on the desktop. Double click on the Kindle drive to open it.

  4. There should be a folder inside the Kindle drive called documents. Drag your book files from their location on your computer to the documents folder. Close both folders and disconnect your device.


You can easily look up your Kindle address by logging on to Amazon.com and selecting Manage Your Kindle. Click on Manage Your Devices. Your Kindle address will always end in “@kindle.com”.

You can also locate the Kindle address right from your Kindle's home screen. Select the Menu button and then select Settings. Your Kindle's address will be listed under Device E-mail.
Additionally, you can locate your Kindle address on your Kindle Fire by following these steps:
Turn on your Kindle Fire and navigate to the Home screen. Tap on the Quick Settings icon.
Tap on My Account. Your Kindle address will be listed under the registered user's name. Your Kindle address will always end in “@kindle.com”.
