UPDATE UPDATE
Turns out my PC will download an ebook and transfer to the Kindle, from Gutenberg.org. Must be a Kindle website problem. Thanks for the suggestions.
My Kindle has been activated and registered. I have sucessfully downloaded an ebook from My Library (Amazon) at a WIFI site.
Now I want to download another book, from home where I do not have WIFI, on to my PC. Then load it to my Kindle.
I have followed the Kindle suggested steps below:
"1.Visit Manage Your Kindle and locate the Kindle content you want to transfer to your Kindle.
2.From the Actions drop-down, click Download & Transfer via USB.
3.From the drop-down, select your Kindle, and then click Download.
Be sure you remember which folder you download your content file to. You will transfer your Kindle content from this folder to your Kindle. "
I do these steps, but I do not think the download is being accomplished, because I can not find the 'file' for "How To Tell A Story and ..........." in My Documents, even with a file search.
(My PC is a Windows XP SP3, Internet Explorer 8, connected to an ATT modem DSL(non WIFI)). Someone has told me it should show up in a "Downloaded Files" Folder. I do not have such a Folder in 'My Documents".
Should I create this folder, or is it on my computer somewhere? Or do I have a entirely different problem that prevents the download to my PC.
