When you initialize the Kindle app on your iPad, you are prompted to log in with your Amazon credentials to register the device to your account. This ensures the app can connect to your Kindle Library, including all books, magazines, newspapers and other documents you purchased or saved to the Amazon cloud. The app is also capable of accessing non-Amazon content in your personal collection, though you have to transfer the files to your device or to the Amazon cloud first.

Personal Document Service

Download

Wirelessly transfer personal documents to the Amazon cloud by sending them as email attachments to your Kindle app's personal address. Obtain this address in one of two ways: log in to Amazon.com, and then look for it in the Personal Document Settings option of the Manage My Kindle feature, or launch the Kindle reading app, tap the Menu icon, and then switch to the 'Docs' tab. Documents sent to this @kindle.com email address transfer to the cloud, where they're available for syncing to your Kindle reading app.

iTunes File Sharing

You can also transfer files from your PC using the File Sharing feature of iTunes, which typically facilitates slightly faster in-app access to your personal library. The downside to this method is that it requires a separate USB cable and the iTunes software. Connect your iPad to your computer, allow iTunes to automatically launch, select the iPad's name, and then switch to its 'Apps' tab. Scroll to the bottom of the window, select the Kindle app's icon on the left, and then drag your book files from the PC to the File Sharing window on the right.
