How To Download and View Pictures on Your Kindle (Modified)
1. Connect kindle to your computer via USB cable.
2. Click on “My computer” and identify Kindle as a removable device on your computer.
3. Click to open and ID the document, Audible, and music folder.
4. Create and add a new folder and name it “Pictures.”
5. Create and name sub-folders in this “Picture” folder, one for each group of pictures you will download.
6. Copy pictures to the appropriate sub-folder with either the .jpg, gif, or .png format.
7. Disconnect Kindle from the computer.
8. Go to your Kindle “Home” screen, press and hold ALT + Z until Kindle recognizes the sub-folder you created as a book and it appears on the screen. Use the select key to open and view the photos.
9. Navigate forward and backward using the “Next page” and “previous page” button.
the difference between “ordinary” and “extra-ordinary” is that little “extra.”

I have followed these instructions for downloading pics to the Kindle to the letter and when I hit Alt Z, nothing happens. Help?
Instead of using “Alt + Z,” press the “Home” key, scroll down, locate the picture file, use the select key to open and view the photos. Use the “Prev page” and “Next page” button to navigate forward and backward.
I don’t see any folders in my Home screen. The only items I see on the Home screen are the contents of the \documents folder. The Kindle doesn’t display th e \Audible or \music folders either, just the documents contents.
Try this for step #8, it worked perfectly for me: Go to your Kindle “Home” screen, press and hold ALT + Z until Kindle recognizes the sub-folder you created as a book and it appears on the screen. Use the select key to open and view the photos
Let me know if it worked this time.
[...] Picture Viewer Even though it’s black and white and the quality is not the greatest, nevertheless you can use Kindle to view your favorite pictures. You can also set your own picture as the screensaver. Files under new technology inventions [...]
Need trick, no need for that email conversion bullcrap. Amazon or someone should just release a converter program for us to use.
This method doesn’t work on my Kindle 2. I followed the instructions multiple times and can hold Control Z forever and nothing happens.
I can’t “scroll down” and locate the picture file because it doesn’t show up anywhere..
This method was for Kindle 1. Sorry!
