There are certain types of books that I prefer to buy on iBooks if I can find
them on book share. I'm nothing if not cheap. Smile. Cookbooks, for example, I
like to have on iBooks. For whatever reason, I find it easier to navigate
around iBooks for a specific page etc. then I do with Kendall, although it is
doable.

That is true. I have noticed that Kindle is usually less expensive than
iBooks.

Not only does Kindall have a lot more books than iBooks has, they're often,
though not always, substantially cheaper.

Thanks for all the pointers, I’ll save this for the next time I need a
Kindle book, I’m mostly an iBooks guy but this is definitely important for
those titles iBooks doesn’t have.

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!
