There certainly are free books on Kindle. You have to find him on the Amazon
store. There are also emails that you can get from different groups which
highlight sales on kindle books. And some are free. It takes some digging I
suppose. But they're there.

Most of the books I need to get in electronic form are for book studies at
church and I find iBooks pretty easy to navigate by page. Of course I’m only
on my first Kindle book, so the verdict is still out. Seems like the
navigation is a couple of menu levels deep, although the bookmark function is
right there. I also admit to grabbing free books from iBooks on a regular
basis, nice balance between trashy fiction and classics. Does Kindle also
have a free section I just havne’t found yet?
Cheers,

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.

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!
