However, they are still abit expensive and a lot of users can't afford it. That's why we can use Amazon Kindle for Mac, a program that let us read the eBooks we buy for the Amazon Kindle device even if we don't own it.
The program synchronizes with your Amazon account and download those books you have already bought. Once the book is downloaded you can read it and use marks and notes as if you were using the real Amazon Kindle.
Kindle for Mac can be synchronized with your Amazon Kindle device too and share notes and marks, so you can read the book either on the Mac and the portable device.
Over the years I have made great use of the free books available on the Gutenberg website. Is it possible, with a Kindle via the internet, to take onboard for reading, books from Gutenberg? As the Kindle has a USB port, is it possible to connect it to the G5 and have it appear on the desktop, so that PDF and MP3 files can be dragged and dropped into it for reading and listening to?
Is it possible to buy and use a Kindle without getting ones self tied into the Amazon spider’s web?
The Kindle’s been around so long, I didn’t really consider how a lot of people have never seen one and plenty more have never attempted to attach it to a Mac. So let me clarify matters a little.
Kindle For Mac free download - WinZip Mac, Auto Kindle eBook Converter, Technitium MAC Address Changer, and many more programs. Amazon Kindle also offers a desktop program to upload PDF files to Kindle. As its name claims, Send-to-Kindle, enabling users to add all Kindle-supported files to Kindle on cross-platforms. It is free and available for Mac, Windows, Android and iOS. Download Send-to-Kindle App on Amazon. Install and launch the program on your computer. First, download the kindle books to macOS 10.14 by opening the Kindle for Mac app and then bringing up your ebook library, and then right-clicking the chosen book to reveal the 'Download' option for the book, and then clicking on the 'Download' button to download the file to local storage.
Yes, the Kindle has a USB port. (In fact, the USB port doubles as a charging port—the Kindle power adapter is a plug with a USB port and a USB cable!) Plug one end of that USB cable into a Mac and the other into a Kindle, and the Kindle will announce it’s entering USB Drive Mode. A new volume, called Kindle, will appear on your Mac. You can open it up and see the files inside. The key folders inside the Kindle volume are audible, documents, and music.
The audible folder is where audiobook files from audible.com live. music is a place where you can put MP3s and then play them back while you’re reading, and even listen via the Kindle’s headphone jack! But the most important folder is documents: this is where all your books, newspapers, and magazines live.
The good news is, Project Gutenberg and many other ebook resources offer downloads in a Kindle compatible format, usually Mobi. Some independent ebook sellers, such as Fictionwise, also sell books in Kindle-compatible format.
Download the app Android File Transfer onto your Mac. Connect your Kindle Fire to the Mac with a micro-USB cable. There should be a notification on your Fire about it being 'Connected as a Media Device.'
To copy a book to your Kindle, just drag the file into the Documents folder, eject the Kindle from your Mac, and unplug the USB cable. The book should automatically appear in the list of books on your Kindle.
So what if you’ve got a book that’s in ePub format, which the Kindle won’t read? Download the free app Calibre and use it to convert ePub files to Mobi. This open-source app isn’t easy to use, but once you figure it out, it will force those files into the right format. (Calibre won’t work with ePub files that are wrapped in copy-protection.)
Amazon also offers some file-conversion services itself. If you email a Microsoft Word file to [your-kindle-name]@free.kindle.com, you’ll find it automatically delivered to your device via Wi-Fi. For free!

Using a Kindle does require you have an Amazon account—Kindles generally come already paired with the Amazon account you used to buy them!—but that doesn’t mean you have to buy books from Amazon. If you want to use a Kindle just for free books from the Internet, you can do it.
