There is no charge for transferring documents via a USB cable
directly
from your PC to the Kindle. The charge comes in when you use what
Amazon
calls their Personal Documents Service if you transfer documents
by
emailing them to your Kindle ***IF*** you use 3g and not Wifi.
The Kindle Keyboard has two models. One uses Wifi such as the
wireless
signal which comes from your router or a wireless hotspot like a
coffee
shop. Another model uses Wifi as well as 3G and can receive books
via 3g
in the same way that cell phones send and receive wireless
signals. I'm
not sure which model of the KK you have; the 3g/Wifi model is the
only
one Amazon is still selling.
If you have a 3g/Wifi KK then Amazon will charge you a fee for
emailing
an attached document to your Kindle if you use their 3G service
which
they call Whispernet but they will not charge you if you use a
Wifi
signal to do the transfer. If you have a 3g/Wifi KK then use the
email
address
username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
where username is the user name of the email address used by your
KK.
If your KK is Wifi only then I think it's OK to use
username@xxxxxxxxxx
since the Wifi-only model can't use 3g anyway and you therefore
can't be
charged for usage. If anyone has info which contradicts what I
just
wrote please feel free to correct me.
Is the 250 mb thing just for 3g kindles or for wi-fi kindles as
well.
Does the 250 mb start over again every month?
Good question: I'm not sure about that. However, this applies to
the
Kindle's built-in Web browser and not for receiving books for
direct
document transfers. For most blind people, totally blind folks
specifically, this is sadly a non-issue as the built-in browser
is
inaccessible with speech. This limit also does not apply to the
KK's
Kindle Store, also inaccessible.

OK, I understand how you are moving your content over to the
Kindle,
but you are going to be charged for anything that isn't a
purchased or
loaned Kindle book from the Kindle book store. It is, was, I'm
not
sure since its been a while since I've done it myself, $0.15 per
megabyte. And even if it isn't a megabyte size file, Amazon will
round
up to a megabyte when they charge you.. All though this isn't a
part
of what we are talking about here, I want to also mention that
there's
also now a 250 Megabyte cap associated with using the web
browser on
the Kindle.

You'll need a PC, it doesn't have to be anything new, it just
needs to
connect to the web. A PC with With Windows XP and NDVA as a
screen
reader would do the trick. How do you connect to the web on the
Braillenote?

There have been four models of Kindle with keyboards, and three
of
those have had TTS. They are the original Kindle with a split
keyboard
and no TTS, the Kindle 2 with a keyboard with tiny bump like
keys and
a joystick and TTS for reading only, the Kindle DX with TTS for
reading only and is a larger ereader with rectangular keys and a
joystick, and finally the Kindle 3, later called the Kindle
Keyboard,
which has the same bump like keys but the joystick was replaced
by the
square with recessed area in the middle and the only Kindle with
talking menus. - Gene

Turn right, then go straight!
Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible)
11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says
the
Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil,
to
give you hope in your final outcome.
12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me,
and I
will hear and heed you.
13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital
necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your
heart.(A)
14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you
from
captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places
to
which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you
back to
the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
