    I was excited to see the book I have been wanting for a while now Radiant New York Beauties for Kindle so I quickly downloded it and went to copy my first foundation piece and well I could not find where you could download or print the page. So I went to the kindle page on there it is my fault for not reading the instructions. You cannot download or print from your kindle. for pc.
    So here is my frustration why would you allow your book to be sold as a kindle download if the users cannot use it???

    I believe that once you have bought your kindle book you can have it downloaded to your pc as well as your kindle. From the PC you can then do the print command. If you what to have the directions or read or see it on your kindle then it is still available very easily without the big book. I know I have downloaded things from my PC to my kindle for easier reading without having to pack my PC along. Just like everything else there are certain applications that the kindle are great for and other things they haven't perfected yet. I wouldn't be surprised at some point in time down the road if you won't be able to print from the kindle.

    Good luck,
    I still love my kindle,

    oooh, I was really pleased to see the price of this book on the kindle, and then I went to pay for it, they wouldn't let me buy it.

    It's the old story - not available for Europe! What's more, being in Ireland, I am not allowed to access books on Amazon.co.uk as they exclude the rest of Europe to

    These big companies are happy to take our money, but are not so happy to give us the good service they give the US customers. I feel cheated.

    I think you may just need to download the "Kindle for PC" application for Amazon to read the books you've purchased on your computer. I've not tried this, but vaguely remember reading this! I'm sure Amazon's Kindle store will guide you. I'm not sure about the printing...but good luck!! Let us know.

    I have the BN ereader and it has a USB slot that I hook my photo printer to and print. But its easier to load "Kindle for PC" and print from there. Its free, as is "NOOK for PC".
