Hi Cheryl,

Yes you can still use the audible site but they have made some changes over the
years and I only use it a couple of times a year so it seems that I need to
relearn the site every time I access it. Nothing I can't learn just seems like
a few more hoops to jump through.

First of all, keith, what specifically is not working well for you on the
audible website? You can still purchase on the audible.com website as usual
and I am having no problems doing that. If you are having problems, be more
specific and I will be glad to try to help.

Ian, here are some tips for buying a Kindle book on Amazon. I do use the full
website instead of the supposedly separate but equal accessible one. . But
usually I go specifically to the Kindle store.

1. When navigating through the website it may be helpful to turn cursor
tracking off if you keep seeing things that say "dialog" that you can't seem
to get past or get into. Sometimes this happens to me and sometimes it
doesn't. Just remember to turn cursor tracking back on after you navigate.

2. For Kindle books, Skip all the other Amazon stuff and go directly to the
Kindle store:
http://www.amazon.com/kindlestore

You may hear other things being spoken as you type this, such as Kindle
paperwhite but this will take you to the Kindle store. After that, all you
need do is type your book or author or whatever in the search field which
should be easily found by using the forms category in the rotor. Hit return;
find your book and hit return on it. Check the price and then just do
ctrl-option-f and type click and hit return. You should be on the link to use
one-click to buy and to the right of that is a pop-up to choose a delivery
destination of you want to use that but you don't have to do that.

It is also still possible to buy on your iPhone or iPad though you can't do
it from the Amazon app. it still can be done through safari. I haven't done
this so I don't know how accessible it is or isn't. Here is the link:

Hth.

Got my book and read my chapter for tomorrow, thanks again. Only
frustrating thing is needing to use the less than accessible full Amazon
site to make the initial purchase.

Hi Ian,
As far as I know Kindle doesn't work on the Mac but it does work very well
on the iPhone. Just go to Amazon from your computer because you can't
purchase a book from your phones app. Then by the book and have it synced
to your device. Once it's downloaded. Go to your device and open the
Kindle app. It will automatically import to your device. Then you just
click on it, and happy reading! Each time you start reading and relaunch
the Kindle app, your book Will pick up where you left off. Hope this helps!

Can somebody give me a heads up as to how to get started using Kindle to
download and read a book? I am fine with using either the Mac or iPhone
for this.
