As a fellow Kindle lover, I've found your site to be a valuable tool that has enhanced my already strong appreciation for my Kindle. <br /><br />By the way, I was led to your site by Stephen Windwalker through his blog at http://kindlehomepage.blogspot.com/.<br /><br />Best wishes for continued success, and thanks again!<br /><br />WitStopWitStophttp://profile.typepad.com/witstopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-6971015710196955502010-05-03T07:05:39.101-07:002010-05-03T07:05:39.101-07:00Will, if I put .mobi or .prc books into the folder...Will, if I put .mobi or .prc books into the folder within documents & settings folder, they are read by my Kindle for PC.<br /><br /> It's not retrieved from Amazon but it's noticed and readable by Kindle for PC.<br /><br /> I think that even happens when I click on a .prc file elsewhere on my computer now. The file-association may have been made.<br /><br /> What doesn't work is that Amazon won't be backing up non-Amazon-book files of course and so it won't be sync'g the non-Amazon files between devices.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-81323698936176453062010-05-03T07:02:16.405-07:002010-05-03T07:02:16.405-07:00Thanks, Andrys, for the response.

I haven't looked but they're ...Hi, Will -<br /> I haven't looked but they're probably where the books are kept, under Documents & Settings folder, in a Kindle app subfolder and in a small aassociated file, as happens with the Kindle device.<br /><br /> Yes, the created notes will be synced with the other devices, they say, unless you have your sync'g between devices Off, which I did for a long time because I wanted to check the less used Kindle 1 for awhile without it affecting my current one. (The sync'g option is at the bottom of your Amazon 'manageyourkindle' page.)<br /><br /> Okay, just found it in the link to the highlighting help-page. Here's what it says:<br /> <br /> "The Kindle application allows you to add highlights and leave notes in your reading the same as you would on a Kindle. Any annotations you make in your reading are automatically synced across devices so you see the same notes on your other Kindle devices or applications. <br /><br />Note: To use this feature, please make sure you are using the most recent version of the Kindle application."<br /><br /> (The previous Kindle app for PC didn't have it at all.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-12794871843255850682010-05-02T17:17:22.474-07:002010-05-02T17:17:22.474-07:00For a dictionary on Kindle for PC, I would strongl...For a dictionary on Kindle for PC, I would strongly recommend installing WordWeb (http://wordweb.info/). It has hotkey functionality which allows you to look up any word instantly, from inside any Windows application. It works great with the Kindle for PC.

Do you know if these notes on KFPC will synch across all the reading platforms, or simply stay resident on the host machine?Will DeLamaterhttp://www.edukindle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-51313393651198002422010-05-02T12:32:12.097-07:002010-05-02T12:32:12.097-07:00Kathy,
