GrahamC Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 The Kindle comes in various flavours for PC, HP tablet etc as a free download. And allows you read content protected by DRM. Looks like the book mentioned above is some type of comic book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artem Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Im pretty sure there is a program which lets you read kindle stuff on your computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Calibre (PC Program) will let you read or convert ebooks to other formats. I use it for putting books on my Android Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Calibre is a good program (and open source*), but they had to reverse engineer the propriety formats so that you could have such a useful tool. * I am an advocate (and user) of OSS, open patents, copyleft (or shorter copyright) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/01/ ... nd-others/ Interesting. I use Calibre to convert PDF to ePUB but didn't realise it was able to strip DRM off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
