Is there a way to use Whispernet on your computer? I found a free ebook on Amazon I want but it says it needs to be downloaded with Whispernet and I do not have a kindle.

If not can someone grab it for me if I send the link and then email it over?

I love posting here, it always causes me to stumble on the answer. I found another button that allows me to read it on the cloud or deliver it to my Android.

I had no idea there was even a Kindle Reader app for the desktop or that you could read kindle books through the website. I don't own a Kindle and traditionally I would rather purchase a physical book so this is all new to me.

Long done with physical books.  Don't miss them really.  Thought I would never take to a Kindle or the various multi-platform Kindle apps.  I do and am glad it is so.

I'm slowly adapting to the digital age. I still prefer to walk over to my bookcase and touch the book, pick one out, flip the pages. But digital is peaking my curiosity because I hate ordering a book and then waiting for it.

No matter what book(s) I am reading they are available to me in synched fashion anywhere I read.  No muss no fuss.  No hairy big feet.

this is going to be the greatest thing that ever happened to me. So many free books, so many great priced books....just one click. I don't think the anticipation of any devices arrival at my door has ever been so painful.

Check out http://www.gutenberg.org/  Many classics, I recommend the Sherlock Holmes series.

I will say it is awesome when you pre-order a book, forget you did it, and then get the email saying it has been delivered to your kindle :D

Can anyone recommend a screen protector? Not really interested in a case I just want something to keep the screen from getting scratched
