I can connect my Kindle via USB and transfer files between my computer and my Kindle. How can I do the same using WiFi? For example, from my computer is there a way to browse what's on my kindle (assuming they are on the same WiFi network)?
Ideally I could access my Kindle as a network share or over FTP, or something.

To upload files to Kindle you can use following approach. In short, you should start Web server on your Computer and after that download files on Kindle using built-in Experimental browser.
On Windows:
path_to_miniweb
path_to_created_book_folder
) on your computer and copy your books there"path_to_miniweb\miniweb.exe" -p 8001 -r "path_to_created_book_folder"
MiniWeb (built on May 12 2018) (C)2005-2013 Written by Stanley Huang Host: 0.0.0.0:8001 Web root: C:\Users\super_user\Desktop\Books Max clients (per IP): 32 (0) URL handlers: 1 Dir listing enabled
192.168.0.4
192.168.0.4:8001
. You should see list of books. Please note, if your Wi-Fi connection is set as Public network, Web server may not be visible for your home devices.On Kindle:
192.168.0.4:8001
. As a result you will see content of thepath_to_created_book_folder
.Later, every time when you need to upload book:
path_to_created_book_folder
NOTE: that Kindle supports limited set of book formats (i.e. *.mobi, *.txt)
