Hello Jacque, Hummm.... I may well be wrong, but I don't think so. I became an Amazon e-book customer because the KIndle reader application for my original iPhone is better than anything else I've tried. I also now own a Kindle 2, but a large portion of my library was purchased for reading on the iPhone beforehand, and I've never heard of the purchasing option that you mentioned. I do know for certainty that PDF's and e-books of other formats can be emailed to a user account to be converted to work with the Kindle, as long as there isn't any DRM content involved. Unless you are correct, that means folks that own Amazon based e-book content will be forced to purchase Kindle hardware, should Amazon not decide to toe the line with Apple's demands. -- Best regards, David C. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
