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! I actually didn't know this, and I have a few Kindle books. 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!

Oh, wow! I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing!

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

Yes, the Amazon kindle is great! Thanks so much for posting this, Peter.

I didn't know this either! *Very useful information* Thanks, Peter.

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

That's good to know! Thanks for the helpful info, Peter!

I didn't know that! I have a Kindle though, so I won't need any download do-hickey.
