One of the fantastic features of the Kindle Wireless Reading Device from Amazon is that it holds so many e-books and audio books. Even with it’s honestly large built-in storage but, your book collection might exceed the limits of what can fit on your Kindle.
To help you handle your growing collection of e-books and audio books, the you can add extra memory to your Kindle in the form of an SD memory card. You can buy these cards in many sizes from 1 GB up-to 16 GB. At the time you read this 32 GB cards may readily be available and affordable. Installing SD memory in your Kindle is straightforward. You can find complete instructions in our Kindle How-To Series available in the web-site listed below.
Once you have your memory card installed it’s time to go some of the e-books or audio books stored in your Kindle’s main memory to your new SD Card. There are a few things you should consider first before “making the go.”
1. Audio books are a excellent candidate for moving from your Kindle’s main memory to the SD card. Audio book files can be large – some are up-to 90 mb or more. Audio books will quickly consumer your Kindle’s main memory leaving less space for your e-books.
2. If you’ve bought books that are on the Amazon digital site and have yet to be sent to your Kindle these also might be excellent candidates to load onto your SD memory card. This will keep all of your e-books and audio books in one place in-case you run into a situation where you do not have wireless access.
3. Pictures, music files, and digital files other than e-books also consume a lot of space in the Kindle’s main memory. Again, this makes them excellent choices to go to the new SD card you’ve installed in your Kindle.
Now – let’s take a look at your Kindle and get ready to save some files to your SD memory card. Here are the steps you can follow to do this -
A. Turn on your Kindle
B. Go the scroll wheel to “Menu” and press to select the Main Menu
C. Scroll to “Content Manager” on the Main Menu the press to select the Content Manager
D. Once the Content Manager screen opens take a look at your list of audio books and e-books – pay specific attention to the storage location of the book listed directly under the first word of the title –
a. “Kindle” – the book is stored in your Kindle’s main memory
b. “SD Card” – any books you’ve went to your SD Card will have this location
c. “Amazon” – books you’ve bought but that have not been downloaded to your Kindle will have this location
E. Choose a book now located on your Kindle by scrolling to the location of the book and pressing the scroll wheel to “select” the book. When you do this you will notice an “x” in the box immediately to the right of the book’s title.
F. Next scroll back down to “Menu” at the bottom of the Kindle screen and press the scroll wheel to select.
G. When the Menu opens, scroll to “Go to SD Card” and press the scroll wheel to select.
H. Once you do this you will notice the location icon will show the book is being transferred to your Kindle’s SD memory card. For example you will see an arrow pointing from the “Kindle” location to the SD Card location.
I. When the go is complete the location icon below the title will change from “Kindle” to “SD Card” – this is how you know the transfer process is complete.
That’s all there is to it! You’ve now learned how-to quickly save books from your Kindle’s main memory to the SD Card you’ve installed in your Kindle.
