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.

can you please help me out with this problem
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!
