kindle fire
I recently bought a kindle fire. I wanted to sideload AO3 fics to it. I saved a .mobi file and moved it into the /mnt/sdcard/Books directory, but it doesn't appear in the library. I tried opening it with two different file explorers, but neither of them could find a file handler. Any suggestions?
Eta: What I want to do is download via the web and open in the kindle app w/o ever using usb, emailing it, or calibre. What has so far happened is that I download from AO3 to the Download folder and move the file to either the Books or the Documents folder, and the Kindle app fails to recognize anything's been added to the device. If I try to open with File Expert, it won't recognize .mobi as a file it can handle. I have to go through a two step process of telling it to open the file as an Amazon book.
