The issue is that the Kindle Fire automatically saves things to the 'Downloads' directory. However, the Kindle Fire uses the Kindle for Android app. So the book needs to be in the 'Books' directory.
You can either connect to a computer to move the files, or download a file manager like ES File Explorer.
Another option that might work is to email the file to your [email protected] email address. Then they show up as Documents.
