Thanks so much i really appreciate all the help i can get.

    1. Email an attachment of the file to “Yourkindlename”@free.kindle.com to be converted.
    The file will be converted and emailed back to you.
    2. Open up your email
    3. Download the file to your computer
    4. Connect your Kindle to your computer with the USB cable.
    5. A window should pop open with these three Kindle folders: DOCUMENT, AUDIBLE, and MUSIC.
    ————————————–…
    If the window does not pop open, locate the START button at the bottom left-hand corner of your computer, click on MY COMPUTER, locate KINDLE as a REMOVABLE device, and click to open…you will see the three files.
    ————————————–…
    6. Locate the converted file on your computer.
    7. Drag and drop it into the DOCUMENT folder
    8. Disconnect your Kindle from the computer
    9. Go to your Kindle HOME screen.
    10. Locate the new file, open and read.
    To avoid all these steps, email the attachment to: YourKindleName@kindle.com for a small fee.
    The file will be converted and sent directly to your Kindle.

    See here, search for the question that starts with “How do I transfer”. I think drag and drop to some folders and it is done:http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i…

    Still No PDF support – you can email and have PDFs converted – however, that’s a weak solution.
