    If you have a Kindle Fire you tap or swipe on the top left corner where the Kindle name is.  It should bring up your downloads.  After you open it once, though, you won’t find it there anymore.

    To permanantly store the files on your Kindle you will need to email it to your Kindle email.  It is located in your Kindle account.  Then the files will be stored in documents.

    Katiebeth1, what kind of Kindle do you have? I just tried downloading a free e-book with a Kindle Fire. It wasn’t clear where the book went, but there was a notification in the top bar that took me right to the book. It looks like downloaded files go into the web browser’s Downloads folder.

    It appears that there isn’t an easy way to move files out of the downloads folder on the Kindle. If you add the file from a computer as Amazon describes in their support documentation, you can put it in the Documents folder where it will be more readily accessible.

    Thank you for the tips. I found it in the top left corner then it went away like you said after I opened it. I have it in my kindle email but it isn’t in my docs. It’s just in my email. How do I save it from email to docs?

    I wasn’t very clear before.  Frown  Let me try again.  Every Kindle has an email address that you can use to send personal documents to you Kindle.  The adress will be XXXXXX @ kindle.com.  If you email a document to the kindle email it will end up in your documents which is located at the top of your home screen (called “Docs”)

    To find out your kindle email address go to Amazon > Kindle (under department on the left)  > Manage Your Kindle.  On the menu on the left click on Manage Your Devices.  You should see you device listed with a “Send-to-Kindle Email address.”  This is the email you send your document to.

    Hope that  helps.
