How Do I Download Books to my Old Kindle When I Buy a Book that is Put on my New Kin

‎03-08-2014 04:14 PM

I have an old Kindle Keyboard. I just ordered a new Kindle Paperwhite. When I now will buy books, how do I put them on my old Kindle Keyboard not just on my new Paperwhite? I have not received my new Paperwhite, but when I looked to buy a new book the only choices on the menu were to put on "Solar's Second Kindle", or on the cloud, or via computer.

THANKS!

I'm not sure. Have you looked at "Manage my Kindle" on the Amazon site.

If that doesn't help you, I'd contact Amazon - they are usually very helpful.

I downloaded the Kindle app on my iphone and somehow everything on my Kindle magically appears on my iphone app too. So there should be an easy way to do this.

Is your old Kindle Keyboard still registered to you? If so, then you should see the option to download to it. When I got my new Paperwhite, my old Keyboard was the default device. I got tired of forgetting to change it so I unregistered my Keyboard.

The other thing to do is to download any books to the Cloud. You can then download from the Cloud to whichever Kindle you want.

Caved and bought Kindle for Dummies for $10.
