HOW TO ADD KINDLE DEVICE TO CALIBRE INSTALL
Upgrade Kindle Firmware and Install VoiceView Files To make your newly transferred dictionary default dictionary on Kindle, go to “Settings > Language & Dictionaries > Dictionaries > Language” option on your Kindle device and select the dictionary you transferred over USB. To do so, copy Kindle compatible dictionary files to the “dictionaries” folder inside “documents” folder, as shown in the screenshot below. If you have a Kindle compatible dictionary purchased from other ebook stores or an open source Kindle compatible dictionary, you can transfer it to Kindle and use it to lookup word meanings while reading books. Transferring Dictionaries to Your Kindle Device You can have a look if you need further instructions. The “fonts” folder in your Kindle’s internal storage should have the file name “Readme.txt”. If you don’t have these variants, you can just transfer the “Regular” or “Bold” variant and Kindle will automatically add faux italic / bold effect to them. Wherever possible, transfer at least “Regular”, “Italic”, “Bold” and “Bold Italic” variants of your custom fonts for best experience. Put your custom fonts in the “fonts” folder, as shown in the screenshot below. You can transfer any “ttf” or “otf” file to use your own font in Kindle. Newer versions of Kindle have the ability to display ebooks using custom fonts. Transferring Custom Fonts to Your Kindle Device You can convert “epub” and other ebook file formats using “Calibre” software mentioned in the last section of this article. If you don’t have an ebook file in these compatible formats, you may have to convert it to make it appear on your Kindle device. To transfer books from your system’s hard drive to Kindle’s internal storage, copy Kindle compatible “mobi”, “azw3” and “pdf” files to the “documents” folder. Once Kindle’s internal storage is mounted, you should see it appearing in the file manager. This method works with Android devices as well. Your system should automatically mount Kindle’s internal storage as an external drive, just like it would do with any other external USB storage drive. To transfer books to your Kindle device, you just have to connect one end of a micro-usb cable to the Kindle and the other end to your Linux PC.
