Download and read Kindle books – no Kindle required.
For those of you who still actually read (a dying art), I thought you might like to know that Amazon has come out with Kindle e-Book reading software that you can download free.
The software (still in beta) can be installed on PC’s, Macs, iPads and iPhones, and BlackBerrys, with more “coming soon”.
With this program, you can…
“The Best Reading Experience for Your PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, or BlackBerry
- Shop the Kindle Store for over 480,000 Kindle books, including 105 of 112 New York Times® Best Sellers, starting from $9.99. If you are a non-U.S. customer, book pricing and availability may vary.
- Read thousands of free books, including popular classics such as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Prejudice, and Treasure Island.
- Get free book samples – read the first chapter for free before you decide to buy.
- Whispersync technology saves and synchronizes your last page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights across your devices.
- Adjust text size to make reading more comfortable.
- Download and read Kindle books – no Kindle required.”
The “reader” software is free, the eBooks are not. This can be a good way to take reading material with you when you are on the go.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
