KINDLE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
When we do our giveaways and contests, we will often deliver your e-book in a file format known as .mobi. This type of file is readable by Kindle E-readers, as well as by the Kindle app on both Andriod and Apple devices. Below are instructions on how to install the file onto various devices.
If you are using your computer to transfer the .mobi file to your device, we recommend placing the .mobi file somewhere easy to access, such as your desktop.
Please note, these instructions are a guide only. Your device and device set-up may differ. If you are having trouble downloading or viewing the file, please refer to your device manufacturer's instructions for how to open this type of file.

3. In your ‘File Manager’, locate the .mobi file you downloaded.
4. Select, ‘Copy’ your .mobi file, and then ‘Paste’ it to your Kindle folder within your file directory
(not directly into the app). If you are not seeing the Kindle folder, it may be that your phone
settings are switched off for downloading files to the Kindle app, if you are using phone data
and not wifi. You can either connect to wifi or change the setting on your phone.
5. After pasting your .mobi file to the Kindle folder, close your file manager and then open your
Kindle app. You should see the file. If you don’t see it, go to your Kindle app’s menu then press
‘Sync’. If pressing ‘Sync’ does not work, and you still do not see the .mobi file, restart your
Android and check the Kindle app again.
