Can you do usb drag and drop for kindles? I always thought you need to send the book over to the special kindle email address.
Calibre is how people do this. Install it on a PC or Mac, and it can easily send books to your Kindle and convert to the right format automatically.
But yes, you can also drag and drop to USB like you're asking. You just gotta make sure you drop on the right format (or use Calibre).
Yep, it just mounts like an external USB drive and you can load it with epub files. Alternatively, you can use calibre that will handle your library on your computer and will detect and load what you want on the Kindle as you desire.
You can. With jailbreak, I send books to it through ssh.
