How to Buy eBooks from Amazon Without a Kindle
For those of you who don't wish to invest in Amazon's Kindle e-book reader (for whatever reason), you'll be happy to know that you can still buy e-books from the site and read them on the device of your choice. All you need to do is download and install the Amazon Kindle app, which is currently available for Windows and Mac OS.
Getting Started
The Kindle app is also offered for mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Android Phone and Windows Phone 7. The app effectively turns your device into a virtual Kindle, with many of the features available on the e-book reader including the ability to adjust font sizes for more comfortable reading, bookmark pages, add notes, and synchronize the last page you've read. Be sure to look at the minimum system requirements first to ensure that your device meets them.
Once you've downloaded the application, you will have to register by providing a valid e-mail address as well as a credit card number. This will allow you not only to buy e-books from the Kindle store, but also to download the free e-books they are currently offering on their site. These free e-books are ones that are out of copyright and include many classics such the books of Charles Dickens and Jane Austen.
Purchasing An e-Book
To buy an e-book, simply click on the icon of the book that you want to buy. A button will appear inviting you to "Buy Now with 1 Click." Click on the button and the book will instantly download to your device, and the purchase price will be charged to your credit card. You use a similar process to download e-books offered for free; simply click on the Buy Now button and they will also be downloaded. Check to see if the download has been successful by clicking on the Sync button and Check for New Items button, or by clicking on the F5 function key.
In addition to e-books, you can also enjoy other types of reading material from the Kindle store such as newspapers, including the New York Times and USA Today, as well as a wide variety of international broadsheets, magazines such as Fortune and Time, and even blogs and online news sites. Happy reading!
