(The above link told me I don't have to >have a Kindle device, I can "download the Kindle app" for the computer.) I have a "Kindle app" of sorts on my Win XP computer. It's called "Mobipocket Reader" and means I can download Kindle-format .mobi files (.mobi used to be Kindle's native format) and read them on my computer, but most of the files I've read on it have not downloaded from Amazon. I've also heard that Kindle no uses mostly .epub files, and I've never managed to find a decent epub reader that works on my computer. -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk
