Hey there guys this is Shira for Internet Marketing Duru
and in this video we’re going to take a look at how to read Kindle books without actually owning a Kindle.
So thanks to Ryan, who wrote me an email through my website
www.InternetmarketingDuru.com and told me that he really wants to read my Kindle books
Amazon is interested in people buying as many Kindle books as possible
and realizes that not everyone is going to own a Kindle.
And that’s why Amazon came out with Free Reading Apps that you can download for free from Amazon,
the link is below this video and let me run through a few examples so that you can get set up fast.
So let’s say that you are using a simple computer, a PC, and you would like to read a Kindle book.
So you come to this page and you click on “Windows to PC” and click on that and then click on download.
Now you can see that automatically this download is starting,
I’m going to download this file and it’s going to go to my downloads folder on my PC
and after that we’re going to actually go to the download and install it.
So I’m going to save the file, I’m going to wait until the download is complete.
And there are step by step instructions here,
where I’m basically going to double click on this
and then I’m going to install the Kindle for PC, which is what I downloaded.
Now let me show you what that looks like.
So as you can see in my downloads I have the Kindle to PC installer.
Now I already have this installed on my PC,
so I’m not actually going to run through,
but all you need to do is actually double click on this,
and click on “RUN” and then just go through the wizard.
Now once you have completed the installation, then it will open automatically,
but later on you can access it from your Start bar -> go to Kindle for PC and the application is going to open.
Now the first time that you install this you’re going to need to set it up.
And it’s very simple, if you have any problems then simply contact Amazon and they’ll sort it out for you.
Once you go to you Library, you’ll be able to see all your downloaded items,
you’ll be able to see basically any book, and you can buy a sample before you read it.
So lets’ see, I downloaded this is sample before I actually bought this book,
I downloaded the free sample from Amazon and I scrolled through,
and then I read some and then when I got to the end I simply bought it from inside the Kindle,
it took me to Amazon and I bought the book.
So this is what books look like on the Kindle,
this is a sample, you can also buy the full books and go to your Library,
check something out and start reading it, OK?
Inside the Kindle book you can choose where to go to,
Table of contents, beginning, location. This is my table of contents.
And in the Kindle now if I click n this it will take me to the right place in the Kindle and I can scroll using the arrows,
I can highlight sections, I can add a note, I can copy a few sections,
I can look things up and there’s lots and lots of things you can do with the Kindle for PC reader.
So just because you don’t own a Kindle,
does not mean that you cannot read Kindle books.
Go to Amazon and download the Kindle Reader to PC,
now if you’re not using a PC and you’re using a MAC, then you’re going to want to download the MAC reader,
and if you’re on an iPhone and you want to read books on you’re iPhone,
even though it might be a little small then you can download the iPhone App and so on.
So check out the Free Kindle for PC reading Apps and start reading Kindle books!
