The Kindle app downloads a copy of the book to your device so it is available completely offline.
I have the app on my android tablet and easily continued to read the book while taking a flight across the country.
If you want to read a Kindle-format (.mobi) book on your PC, PDA or smart phone, then try the Mobipocket Reader which you can download at , you need to download the file first, which apparently buying a book for the Amazon Kindle Cloud Reader currently does not allow you to do. You can find Kindle-format e-books in many locations: the Mobipocket site ( =EN), Project Gutenberg ( _Page) and 43 Folders ( -books-your-amazon-kindle)
I have had a Kindle for about three years and would like to update it to a newer one. I would like to sell my old one eventually, or just give it to someone. How do I deal with Amazon about this, and how can my old Kindle be re-registered to another person?
You must admit, though, that MOST ebooks are in epub-format, and MOST readers use epub, and that it is a very strange strategy to keep a diferent format for kindle, and to not enable kindle readers to read epubs. I consciously decided against a kindle after studying all the technical information. I would, however, like to buy ebooks from Amazon. It is not smart to sacrifice selling ebooks to me and all the other Non-kindles, just to sell the kindle machine. With the amount I am reading, they would earn more by selling me epubs!
