Is there any way at all you can buy e-books from Amazon using a Kindle in China? Say, if you use a proxy, downloaded them to your computer, then transfered them to your Kindle would that work? Or are you limited to free/torrented stuff?
I have a Kindle.
I go online to amazon to buy books.
Turn on the Kindle wirless. And they download themselves.
I have not had any issues with it in China.
For .pdfs ..... you can convert them to a format the Kindle will read and then xfer them over via the USB port.
Here's how ... (I copied from some website)
1.
Download and install the FULL version of Mobipocket Creator. (If you opt for the simpler version, it won’t have the PDF conversion option.)
2.
When Mobipocket Creator is running, select Adobe PDF under Import From Existing File
3.
Choose the PDF file you want to convert
4.
Leave the rest alone unless you want to change your destination folder and click Import
5.
Select the html file that was just created and click Build from the toolbar at the top of Mobipocket Creator
6.
Click Build (you will most likely get a few errors but I just ignore them)
7.
Go to your destination folder, open the folder that was created with your publication
8.
Copy the .prc file into the Documents folder of your Kindle via the USB cable
