Virgil61 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Kindle for PC seems to have limited functionality. I used it then found mobipocket ebook reader which reads the same ebook files Kindle does (mobi and prc). It's far superior in functionality than what Amazon gives you on Kindle for PC. LINK I also use Caliberwhich is pretty funky as well. It reads both Kindle and Nook type files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracula [Kindle Edition] FREE The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes [Kindle Edition] FREE Treasure Island [Kindle Edition] FREE cheers viggen These are available already via Apple iBooks, which is the preferred reader on an iPod/iPad/iPhone. The beauty of the Kindle emulator is that you can get hold of books like "Gladiatrix" by our own Lanista, which are otherwise not available on iBooks.
