Kindle this, Kindle that. It seems that every time that I turn around, someone’s talking about Kindle. Even you’re publishing books on Kindle. Good for you, but what about those of us that can’t afford a Kindle, or just don’t want one? Am I out of luck?
Kindle for Free on Your PC
OK, I totally made that question up, basing it on what I expect a lot of people to be saying as more and more publishers begin producing content on Kindle – either exclusively, or “exclusively-for-a-while.”
Including myself.
You are most definitely not out of luck. Far from it.
And it’s one of the reasons why I really like the Kindle publishing platform.

Kindle without Kindle is FREE
I love my Kindle Fire and know many people who share that love. I also loved the previous editions of the Kindle as well.
The big deep dark secret to Kindle, however, is that you don’t need a Kindle device to read Kindle books. All that you really need is an account with Amazon.com.
After that, aside from the cost of the books, everything else that you need is completely free.
What I’m talking about, of course, is the Kindle application:
If you have a PC, a Mac, an iPhone, an iPad, a Blackberry, or an Android-based phone or tablet, you can download the Kindle application for FREE.
Once installed, that application lets you read any Kindle-based publication that you like.
