Kindles are forever but you don’t need to own one to read ebooks

When I told my friends and acquaintences that I had published my book, Samantha they expressed interest in reading it (well feigned it convincingly anyway)! However a number of people remarked that as Samantha is an ebook and they don’t own an ebook reader it would not be possible for them to read Samantha.

It is a commonly held misconception that possession of a Kindle or similar device is essential for the reading of ebooks. In fact Amazon offer a range of free apps which allow for the reading of Kindle content on computers, Ipads and Ipods (see http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_164007747_3?ie=UTF8&docId=1000425503&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-9&pf_rd_r=1MNRJQD1S63J3G4XJ48E&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_p=396445167&pf_rd_i=1000423913). I love the portability of my Kindle but it is good to know that there are other options available for reading ebooks  sold by Amazon.
