Amazon Kindle is an innovative portable e-book reader with killing features able to satisfy even the most demanding customers. Pioneer E-Ink technology, 6’ anti-glare screen, ultra lightweight, built-in Wi-Fi, enhanced PDF Reader, fast book downloading and magnificent design are only some of its unique characteristics. But the Kindle is not just another e-book reader; you can visit your favorite web sites, check your emails, print screenshots or even keep your personal photo albums on it to browse anytime, anywhere. The process is easy and does not require extensive technical knowledge.
In particular:
1. Choose the photos you wish to integrate to your Kindle. Keep in mind that the Kindle displays pictures and texts only in gray scales. If you wish, group or tag your photos.
2. Save your Kindle’s memory by reducing your photos overall size. You can easily do that via your computer’s ‘Paint’ or any other specified program. Nevertheless, if you have plenty of free space on your Kindle, you may choose to ignore this step.
3. Connect your Kindle to your pc using the USB cable that came with the device. It is highly suggested to use a high-speed port to enable file transfer and maximize performance.
4. Once your pc detects the Kindle, it will ask you whether to view files or choose another action. If not, click on ‘My Computer’ and then on ‘Kindle’. Your Kindle will be shown as an external hard drive.
5. Open the Kindle directory by double clicking on it. There you will find a list of folders such as ‘Audible’, ‘Documents’, ‘Music’ and ‘System’. Create a new folder and name it ‘Photos’.
6. Double-click on the ‘Photos’ folder and create as many sub-folders as you wish. Name them according to their content to distinguish them easily.
7. Drag and drop or copy and paste the photos you wish to move to your Kindle to the corresponding sub-folders. Wait a few seconds until the transfer is complete and disconnect the Kindle from your computer. For safety reasons, choose the ‘Safely Remove Hardware’ option on your pc.
8. You need one more thing to do before your actions take effect; press ‘Alt’ and ‘Z’ simultaneously on your Kindle’s keyboard to automatically refresh its folder’s list.
9. That’s it! You can now browse your favorite photos on your Kindle! Just open a photo subdirectory and press on the scroll button to display its contents.
