Hi John
You don't need a Kindle to buy/read the Kindle format. You can download the
free Kindle app for your PC, Android, or iThingy from the Amazon site. Or read
a Kindle book via the Kindle Cloud/web thingy.
You only pay for the Kindle format book, NOT for the app to read it on.

Let's see... I have a wheel rodent on this PC and a trackpoint rodent on the
other PC. The indicator stalk in my car would be a "human interface device",
and supports both left and right click operations.
Um... I hesitate to ask, but I don't have a Kindle. Is the MMoS available for
the iThingie platform?

I�ve been using the MMoS (3rd edition) since I discovered it the sale bin in an
ordinary bookshop many years ago. I went and bought a coffee and started
reading it immediately! (Much to the amusement of my wife.)
I�ve been looking forward to it being updated, especially re interface
elements, and Howard�s comments encourage me to think that it really has been.
Re �mouse devices� etc., I remember laughing when I plugged in a mouse and
Windows told me it had detected a �human interface device�. That�s a prime
example of why a wordsmith should always be involved with any text a user might
see.
