The Kindle, just like any PC and Mac is manufactured and designed to be easily used for various activities. Likewise, in many cases, there may be a need for you to connect your kindle to a windows PC or Mac.
However, most times, you may not need to connect the kindle into your computer. In the same way, there are times when you will need to manually connect your Kindle to a computer.
Reason for Difficulties in Connecting Your Kindle to PC
But before I highlight the process of the connection, I will show you the reason why you might experience difficulties in doing the connection even if you follow the right procedure.
There are two types of micro USB cable that people use for connection, namely;
- Regular(data) cables which explore all four available wires and carry both power and data
- And also, Charge-only cables; which use only two wires for charging function only
Using the later (charge-only cables) for any form of connectivity can prove to be difficult because they are only meant for providing power only, and it can malfunction if you try to use it for a connection between two gadgets such as Kindle and Windows PC
If you are experiencing difficulties in your connection that could possibly mean you are using one of these inferior and none suitable charge-only cables.
Use any proper 4-wired micro USB cable, and follow a proper procedure and process for connection and it will work perfectly
