Don't have a kindle. I'm still old-school.......how about a PDF for my laptop?

vote-for-1vote-against

I'm amazed at the new "old" schoolers who insist upon PDF files...LOL. They don't realize that PDF was a proprietary format for years and years and required a special viewer. Get over it internet people, new formats are always cropping up. The kindle ap to me is just another viewer...free content for the price of yet another viewer...yes it's silly...anybody have a good deal on a BetaMax tape player?

There are converters out there that convert kindle format to normal formats, for free...

i heard the author disappeared into the mountainous region known as sinai and returned several weeks later with this manuscript scrawled out on two large stone tablets.

does anyone happen to have a copy in that format?

I can confirm the kindle document has no DRM - Calibre software on my PC converted it easily to PDF

Don't worry guys, I got this. I'm currently reading the book aloud to my wax-cylinder phonograph. Each cylinder will be available for sale as soon as I'm done recording. The pony-express won't make it's rounds until harvest time, but you should receive shipment within a few short months after that (assuming they're not killed by Indians during delivery, of course)

Ha Ha! Thanks. I'm in for 3!

I don't see any way to actually "buy" this. Besides, what good is it if it won't play on my Nook?

Yeah, so I'm confused here. I see that it's listed for $2.99, but free to Kindle owners lending library if you're a prime member. I'm prime enabled, but don't own a kindle. According to the instructions, I have to access the lending library through a kindle, but I don't see that option on the Kindle App for Windows. Am I missing something here, or do I actually have to own a kindle to view these books?

The only way I have found to get the Prime lending is on a kindle device.

@dant98 Yes, in order to take advantage of the Kindle Owners Lending Library, you must actually own a Kindle device. I have several non-Amazon tablets registered to my account and none of them are eligible to read these books, it has to go to one of the Kindles registered.

It was totally free on the 31st, but as per the original post that was a one day deal. Now it's only free to prime members with actual kindle devices. It's $2.99 for everyone else.

Frellin kidz ...
"PDF" originally meant "Printer Definition File". I could write a document on Sun Unix and send it to a Mac or PC. They not only read the document the way I wrote it, the fonts and pictures would print out right. Otherwise, there was garbage. You needed a license from Adobe, tho. "RTF" files made the text part simpler (and free) to send as formatted. Evolution happens!

This is Amazon!
Sign up for an Amazon account. It's free.
Download the Kindle app for your computer. It's free.
You now have a working kindle device! The downloader is attached to your PC when you log on to Amazon.
Download the free Kindle file. You will see it in the list of your other downloaded Kindle files. Read it with your free Kindle reader.
BTW, Calibre is also a pretty good "Office" product for your files, not just a reader.

And yes, no shittike mushroom, grasshopper. Sony, Adobe, Sun, Apple and Microsoft have always tried to make their own products mandatory, proprietary- and $$ licensed. If you ever think it's not about control and money, walk it off. It is. It always is.
The Sony Betamax system failed only because it required a license, and VHS didn't. The PTBs won't allow you to have that choice to happen again. The Windows8 protocol will not only use your motherboard serial number as part of the OS license, it can prevent you from taking a "Windows" machine and making a competitive Frankintosh or Linux system out of it. Did you miss the SOPA/ PIPA mess?
