Body: <p>the screen of my Kindle broke a while ago and I thought I could just transfer the files of my Kindle device onto my Kindle account. I never bothered really setting up a Kindle account because I inherited my Kindle from my grandpa so I don't know his account login or anything of the sort. I am able to transfer some of the books using &quot;Send to Kindle&quot; that Amazon suggests but some of the book files are unsupported (these books were legitimately purchased very long ago but the files are APNX and not pdf). How can I resolve this? Or is fixing the screen the only way?</p>

  Try connecting the Kindle to a PC with a USB cable. If no interactions are needed on the Kindle (i.e. selecting the type of USB connection), maybe the internal storage of the Kindle will then show up in a file manager. Copy what you want from the kindle to PC storage.
