Anyone here own a Kindle Fire? I just downloaded an Ebook (Stieg Larsson Trilogy) off Utorrent, and I've tried dragging the file into my Kindle, but no matter what it doesn't show up on the Kindle? Kinda pissing me off, because I'm not gonna spend $25 for 3 ebooks..

parents have a kindle fire.
I know whenever I put music or videos on it, the sucker is super picky a bout file types.
Do you need a program to "unzip" the file or convert it?
I've never put ebooks on it. I can't read.

Nope. Try to text convert it to a PDF file. then read it on your PC
kinda defeats having a kindle fire to read books on the go. lol
edit: unless you can get adobe reader on a kindle??

I can download a program for that, but I have no idea what I'd need to do to get it compatible with the Kindle, not much info out there I can understand lol

If you saw the people I'm around you'd know that's not possible.. I'm not into depressing, overweight, poorly dressed fetishes quite yet.
Not yet you say. That moment will come.
Either way, try to see if you can convert it to a kindle file, it sounds like it was downloaded in maybe a zip, or a .txt file.... See if it's the correct format first

I'm trying to find out what kind of format it needs, but honestly, I'm so bad at computer shit I'm more likely to solve a 30yr old murder case than figure this out..
"Converting incompatible formats to Kindle-friendly formats
What if you have digital copies of books that you want to read on the Kindle, but they won’t display in their current format? Try installing Calibre (calibre.kovidgoyal.net) or Stanza (www.lexcycle.com) on your PC/Mac. Calibre is the golden child right now, but I’ve also had success with conversions using the desktop version of Stanza in the past. You should know, however, that Amazon now owns Stanza—so if you’re looking to go Amazon-free stick with Calibre, which remains independent as of July 2009."
