I have a touchscreen laptop and Kindle for PC works great as a ebook reader with touch functionality. However I have several PDFs books which I would like to import and read using Kindle for PC. How do I import existing PDF books into Kindle for PC? thanks

The Kindle DX natively supports PDF files. If, however, you have a First generation Kindle, then you can convert the PDF to a .prc file using the Mobipocket eBook Creator

You could also use Amazon's conversion service http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200140600&

Thanks for taking time to answer. However, I dont own the device. I downloaded Kindle for PC and would like to read PDFs on my touch screen laptop – Rams Jul 4 '10 at 14:11
Apologies, I misread your question. I'm afraid, as far as I know, it doesn't support PDF files, you will have to convert them using one of the methods I mentioned above. – Pulse Jul 4 '10 at 14:37
like Pulse noted above, use the Mobipocket eBook Createor to create the .prc files and then copy them to My Documents\Kindle Books\. Restart Kindle for PC and all .prc books are now available in Kindle – Rams Jul 6 '10 at 11:51
