Kindle questions.
[font=Times New Roman","serif]“Kindles are an e-reader. They download e-books and display them like a book. The e-books they download come from Amazon (AND other sources) in a variety of formats. MOST Amazon books are in "kindle" format (.MOBI, .AZW, .AZ3). You can also download and read these books on a computer (or tablet or phone) by installing the free Kindle for XXX app. There are around 3 million books available from Amazon, and more from other sources. The Kindles do NOT read the other popular format that e-books use of .ePub.”[/font]
[font=Times New Roman","serif]You take your Kindle (or your Kindle for XXX free app) and register it to your Amazon account. You "buy" a book from Amazon using that account (around 100,000 are free - so the buy can cost you nothing). You read the book on the device or app. It can be done for free: why not just try it!![/font]
