Mary,
If you open the book on your Kindle – that means that it’s on it. There is will be no need to download it when you abroad and pay 1.99 charge.
So before leaving just purchase all the books that you want and make sure that you’ve opened at least the first page of all of them this will give you 100% confidence that the books are on the device and you’ll need not download them when you are outside of the US.

I’ve never posted before, and yet when I try to post now I’m told I’ve already posted this question. Help.

Sorry to be dense but I’m having problems understanding what to expect from my new kindle and how much I am charged for using it. I live in the U.S. and am leaving for the UK and Egypt in a few days. If I buy kindle books before I leave the US are they not on my Kindle? If not, when I want to read them do I have to pay an additional fee if I am outside of the US? I read somewhere there is a $1.99 fee for loading books I have already purchased. Surely this can’t mean what I think it means. I bought this Kindle especially because I travel, and I wouldn’t be willing to pay more than the cost of the book itself.

You can rip audio books from CDs to MP3 and upload these files to Kindle. However you’ll have very poor navigation experience. Since you can only move forward one track and can’t see which track is playing.
There may be some tool to convert MP3 to audiobook native format but I don’t know about it.

I saw the question about downloading audio books to a Kindle from an established site for that. Can audio books be loaded from the discs themselves via a computer?

My 88 year old Dad’s Kindle isn’t syncing up with new daily NYT – he really relies on this for his news and is frustrated. I’ve tried syncing up, turning wireless off and on. any other suggestions that can get this to work?

Try to force it to power off (hold the power switch for long time and see if it will power back on. If it doesn't work I believe warranty is your best friend. It rocks by the way.

I am wondering if the Kindle can be used abroad and internationally? Do all the features work abroad? I am living and studying in Mexico and I am interested in buying the kindle so I can get my textbooks at a better price using the kindle instead of buying the hard copy. Can I request books to be put on kindle and have them put on kindle? I am trying to decide if this device would be beneficial for a student like myself that is doing my Master’s abroad. Thank you.

My mother has profound hearing loss and is contemplating a new hearing aid. The doctor suggested reading a book while listening to it on audio tape would greatly accelerate her adapting to the new hearing aids. Is the Kindle capable of displaying text and playing the audio simultaneously?
