Amazon Kindle Help

Hey for Christmas my girlfriends father received an Amazon Kindle. While it’s proven to be great so far I want to get him some extra books.
There are loads of books here on warez but I was wondering how do I get them onto the Kindle and what format do they need to be in? He is slightly older so I want it to be fairly easy to use so if you could explain it in a simple manner or point me in the direction of a tutorial that would be great.
Thank you

To get the converted books onto the Kindle, you can either connect to the computer via USB, or use the special kindle email address (if it’s 3g) assigned to your gf father’s amazon account and email the book directly to the kindle. I can’t remember how I set this up, but there are instructions somewhere within Amazon.
ETA: In Amazon account, go under “manage your kindle” and click on “personal document settings.” In there will be the email address you can use to email books to the kindle.
