Me on AO3

[marguerite_26]

So... after years of saying I would someday, I finally got an AO3 account.

Basically an old Buffy archive (Angel Book of Days) was moving to AO3 and it was a good excuse to move my fics that were there archive with ABoD over to A03.

I'm slowly uploading my fics. But eventually, any fic over 2k should be archived there.

After deleting my IJ account it is nice to think I will have a backup somewhere. :)

I think I found some clues on the problem. I am downloading through the Kindle Fire's web browser, and the file doesn't seem to go anywhere that I can easily access (like to my ebook collection on the Fire), but lives somewhat precariously in my browser download area. When I open the file, it displays in the browser, hence the crappy formatting. And the mobi file doesn't open at all.

I think the Fire is designed primarily to serve as a portal to Amazon, so it looks like they make it a bit more of a process to download books that are not from Amazon.

Here's some info I found online:
"The best way to load non-Amazon ebooks and personal documents onto the Kindle Fire is to email them to the Kindle Fire’s free email address. This can be found under Settings > My Account, and can be modified from the Manage Your Kindle page under personal documents settings.

The Kindle Personal Documents Service supports these specific file types: .DOC, .DOCX, .HTML, HTM, RTF, .JPEG, JPG, .MOBI, .AZW, .GIF, .PNG, .BMP, .PDF, and .ZIP.

If you have a whole bunch of files you can put them all in a ZIP package and send them and they will be unpacked automatically upon arrival on the Kindle Fire.

Another option, say you download a MOBI ebook with the web browser and want to read it in the Kindle Fire’s reading app. The file won’t open the Kindle app from the browser so you have to use a File Manager such as ES file Explorer (free in the Amazon appstore) and move the downloaded ebook from the “Download” folder to the “Documents” folder. Then the Kindle Fire has to be restarted for it to show up in the documents list." - http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2011/12/24/kindle-fire-tips-tricks-and-how-to-tutorials-video

Le sigh.

Thanks for all your advice, and maybe it will help other people using Kindle Fires!

That seems like a lot of work - can't you just download everything to your computer and then connect your Fire to your computer and drag everything over? That's what I do and it works a treat. Super easy too. I don't download anything directly from my Kindle - unless I'm buying something through Amazon and then they just send it to my Kindle email.

I'll give that a try! TY! <3
