Raul. Once again, marvelous answer. But how can I do this if the Kindle tree view is empty? I know the book is on my device, but when I follow the instructions you and others give, it does not appear in the tree view of Kindle books on my device. What now?

In the Kindle transfer specifically, when you arrow to the entry and then tab once to the add button you are presented with a file name edit box. This is like the typical file open selection of Windows. After you upload the file it will show up in the device section of the Kindle app. Now since your question is on downloading, what you do in this case is tab once past the add button and there is a save as button. Press this and the file you are selected on will save to your last used folder. Again, the typical Windows file selection dialog will open with the file name already filled in for you. Press enter to accept the name and location and it will be in the folder you last used. If you want to change the folder,k press shift-tab twice when you are in this file name selection dialog box and you will be in the folder it is going to save to. Press backspace here to go to the parent folder and if you need to, again until you eventually navigate to the desktop. Again, this is the same type of safe as dialog that is found in other windows programs. Once you choose, my documents for example, press tab twice again to reach the edit box with the file name and it should still be there, provided you didn't accidentally change it by selecting an existing file during your folder change trek. Now press enter and the file will save to the location you chose. The next time you do this, the same folder will be used. it sounds complicated, but it's not too bad once you do this. Oh, and earlier i mentioned pressing shift-tab twice from the file name edit box to reach the list of files in the folder. This is true for windows vista and 7 users, but if using xp, then shift-tab is only pressed once. This is because of that extra sorting control ms uses when you are in an explorer window. I hope this makes sense and that I didn't complicate it further. Thanks. -- Raul A. Gallegos I can't live without y?o?u?. TEA.
