kindle and no wi-fi? 26 January 2012 11:00 (permalink)

My husband has just kindly bought me a kindle but it appears to need wifi to set it up. We have a dongle, not wifi. Ive been on all the help pages and googled it but cant work out the solution. Can i set it up without wifi? In the amazon help page it said i can download content vis the uSB but no information on setting it up/ registering it without. Any ideas?

yes

once you've registered/set-up, and books you download can be done on the computer and transfered by plugging the kindle into the USB

There may be a way to register/set-up via USB, but I dont know it - doing it over a coffee at your local McD's or starbucks would be the easy solution

You can connect it to your laptop which connects to the internet via the dongle using the kindle USB cable, from there you should be able to transfer the books. I think. OH has one and I am sure thats what she does.

If so then agree with the above that you can download via computer. Sponsored by Muscle Finesse
