Okay, first of all, I am a bloggee, not a blogger, so this is probably going to look pretty lame. It is a miracle I figured out screenshots, okay?? But I get so much joy out of downloading fanfics onto my Kindle for easy reading and have had so many people ask me about it, I thought I may as well give a post a shot. And it is really hard to try and help people out with 140 twitter characters...just sayin'.
So, here goes. How to download fanfiction onto your Kindle 101.
Step 1...get yourself a fanfiction downloader program...this is the one I recommend:
http://www.home-eisele.de/
Now this story has been copied onto your C-drive. Open up that folder and see, there it is!! Woot! You are almost there. Plug your Kindle into your computer, and your Kindle folder will open. Drag and drop the mobi file version of your story into your Kindle Documents folder.
Now eject your Kindle
Once you get used to the process, it takes less that one minute to get a story from FF.net onto your Kindle.
And now you can enjoy fanfic on the go! Happy reading.

I don't have a kindle yet, but i am buying one today. SO I was just wondering...when you do this does it save all of the chapters of the story? OR do you have to do this for every single page?

ReplyDeleteGo to your start menu..hit explore...it will come up as a device there (just like a disc drive, flash drive etc would) then click on of and a dealio will open with a few folders....one will say 'documents' drag and drop them into documents....let me know if that wasn't clear or u need more help! :)
ReplyDeleteMy downloader has been working for a few months now and today it decided not to. After I've downloaded the fiction it is not showing up on my C drive? Help please, thank you.
