Extracting rar files

February 11, 2008

Extracting rar files is pretty easy all you need is the right program for the job. You can download WinRar which isn’t free but there is a free trial or better yet download 7-Zip which is completely free and can extract rar file format and many others it’s an awesome program.

After you’ve downloaded WinRar or 7-Zip install it and then we can begin to extract our .rar file. If your are using WinRar (7zip should be similar) right click on the .rar file and a number of options will appear. I usually click on “Extract Here” which extracts the file to the same location of the original file, or you could extract the rar files to a folder/directory by selecting “Extract to..” and then browse for the folder.

I extracted rar files to my kindle gadget. The extractions were all successful. I can see the files/folders when I check my Kindle through my PC (Windows 7). However, after I eject my Kindly I could not see the files anymore. Please advise on how to make these files appear in Kindle when it is on stand alone mode. Thanks!
