3. Select book, right click, choose 'send to device'
How do you then transfer the books you have downloaded with calibre into your kindle ?
2. Add the book into the Calibre library.
3. Right click the book in the list, and select convert, and pick format.
It's that easy. Calibre will also upload to your ereader, and convert automatically if the reader does not support the file format in your library.
Upgrading from the 1st generation to the 3rd is really of questionable benefit I think. Didn't realize it was $100 on Prime day! Makes me doubt this purchase:)
I purchased the 3rd gen as an impulse buy (and to get back into reading) when I saw it for $99 on Prime Day without much research. I never got to play with the Kobo Glo HD but I'm pretty happy with the Paperwhite.
Biggest pro: Cloud sync. Purchased books and "personal docs" that you upload to the cloud can be accessed and downloaded from any device with the Kindle app or a Kindle and reading progress and bookmarks, etc. are all in sync.
Cons: Does not read ePub and the screen has a slight bluish tint in the dark (not sure what the Glo HD looks like).

Returned it and got a Kobo Glo HD which is a much better e-reader IMO. Does epubs, better lighting, less page refreshes, better feel in the hand.
i got the 1st gen. paperwhite.
is the upgrade to this worth it in your opinion ?
Thanks
