How to get documents onto the Kindle, and online sources

A very informative posting about getting files onto the Kindle was made by B. Tackitt.   It's from a document Tackitt made, to keep on the Kindle for reference.

(Also see Amazon's help section on how to use the USB cable to transfer files.)

The forum thread is titled "Helpful information to add to your Kindle," and the following topics are covered:

  . Multiple ways to get information onto your Kindle.
  . Some programs to convert e-books to Kindle format
        - added by Kurt G. Schumacher
  . A listing of items in the popular forum thread that T. Beck began,
        on How to download a million or so books, mostly for free,
        to your Kindle.  Has good detail and includes resources.      
  . E-textbook stores online are also listed.
