If you have the Kindle app installed, just open it and it should show a selection of the books you've purchased from the Kindle store.
Books that haven't been downloaded to your device yet are available via the "Archived Items" menu option that pops up when you press your device's Menu, you should be able to select and download any books there.
If you've downloaded Kindle compatible books from elsewhere on the internet, then if you move them into the "Kindle" folder on your SD card, they should appear in the listing of books when you open the Kindle app.
You have two options to do this:
Kindle
folder, you first need to go into Kindle Settings and enable Data Storage Access for personal documents. Until you do, you won't have a Kindle
folder on your device.

books
folder at the top level of my Internal Storage
, and then enabled Data Storage Access (thanks @NightOwl888!), and then my .mobi file appeared in the library. Thanks!!
The easiest way to do this is to email the file to your Kindle email address.
When you setup your Kindle, Amazon assigns your Kindle account an email, [something]@free.kindle.com. Attach it to an email and send it there. Done.
