Dear HolyWorlders, "I love my Kindle!" I've had it for two months now, and have read about a dozen books on it already. Some I paid for, such as the Hunger Games trilogy, but there have been a great bunch of freebies too, such as Emperor's Edge, Below Mercury, Replica, and others that were part of 1-day Amazon promotions. However, I thought I might mention something that not everyone knows - you do not actually need a Kindle to read Kindle books If you buy a Kindle book from Amazon, you can read it online through Amazon itself. You log onto Amazon, go to 'Your Account' then 'Manage your Kindle' where you have to sign in a second time. It then lists all your Kindle purchases. You hover your cursor over a novel's 'Actions' button, and click 'Read Now.' That's it! Also, you can download the Kindle program to any PC or iPad. Just go here http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000426311 to see the file to download and read on your PC. Quite wonderful. You can have sepia pages, and change the page width, font size, etc. So! I read Kindle books on my Kindle (best choice) and sometimes online through Amazon, and other times through Kindle on my PC. |

Wow awesome! Generally I squint-read them on my iPod Touch, but now that I know that, I'll be able to read them on my PC! Thanks for sharing, Peter! |

I love the PC app, and if you have the book fully downloaded (not put in your archives) you can read it without internet. |

I forgot to mention, if you don't like a book you downloaded for Kindle, you have seven days in which to return it for a full refund. I've only done it once, but it saved me the disappointment of having wasted money on something I didn't want to read |
