Mine must have wifi then...all I do is lay the thing next to my computer and download, no cords...
I’ve gotten quite a few western novels, some trashy...which is NOT what I was after....”love” stories...I have a hodgepodge of books right now.
I think something has “eaten up” the reader on the laptop. It won’t open. So.........I’ll just uninstall and reinstall.
Amazon also has a “cloud” reader. If you go to manage your kindle on Amazon.com, you can choose to read now. It is probably one of the nicer apps.
