Yes, you can still sideload books on 2024 Kindles. Here’s the info you need

[phillynews215]

• Rumors abound that the 2024 Kindle lineup has removed sideloading.
• However, this is not true. Amazon has only removed the ability to use My Content & Devices to transfer files over USB.
• Additionally, Mac users will need to install additional software to continue sideloading content to the new Kindles.

Although Amazon’s Kindles are some of the best e-readers you can buy, they aren’t as great as we’d like out of the box. For example, using official tools provided by Amazon, keeping your non-Amazon e-books organized is a real chore. That’s why many Kindle users turn to third-party solutions, like the incredibly popular Calibre software. However, to use Calibre to its full extent, you’ll probably need to hook your Kindle up to your computer using a USB cable for transferring content, a process known as sideloading.

This is why Kindle fans went into an uproar when a rumor spread that the new 2024 lineup of Kindles no longer supported USB connections to PCs. This would prevent users from sideloading content to any of the four new Kindles.*Unfortunately, this*Good e-Reader post fueled that rumor. We have dug into this and discovered why this false rumor spread. Thanks to a statement from Amazon itself, we can explain what’s really happening.
