Or is it iPad? Anyway, I happened across about 40,000 kindle files.
They load easily on a Kindle or a PC with the Kindle reading app.
However, a friend of a friend wants to read them on his Apple tablet
but, although they apparently transfer across and he has the app to
read them, the beast cannot find the files.
Are there any obvious things that could be checked at about a
continent's distance?
the problem is not distance so much as clarity; from what you wrote, it's hard
to be sure whether these are literally Kindle files (.mobi) or some other ebook
format, and hard to know what "apparently transfer across" means
as Walter notes, there is a Kindle app, which works great for content tied to
your Kindle account, and will also automatically open a kindle file if you can
load it via URL in Safari on the iPad; if these two cases don't apply, then
you'll need to "sideload" the files to the iPad; most direct is to connect iPad
to a computer and launch iTunes, then select the iPad in the sidebar, and the
Apps tab; scroll down to File Sharing, select the Kindle app, and drag the
files into the Kindle Documents window
there are other ways, such as syncing via Dropbox (for active Dropbox users
this is easier than using iTunes), then using the Dropbox app to open the file
in the Kindle app, and there are may be other apps that can read .mobi files;
this is an extremely common question so there a many resources on the web that
go into more detail; there are also tools which convert .mobi files to pdf,
ePub etc. which makes them usable in more apps
