O.K. dammccoy ~ I've been there exactly and here's what I get : 1. Download now for Windows 8 (Also, under "download now for W8, it says, "Buy Once, Read Everywhere:" - I thought it was free, so I figured I wasn't at the right place) but I continued to..... 2. View in Windows Store 3. Then the link goes to TWINUI ~ I know it's an application, but how do I know it's safe? I've seen it before but I don't really know what it is. I guess that's when I tuned off. EmmaR ~ This looks a little cleaner (clearer) but again it said to shop at the Windows 8 store - I'm still learning W8, so I always figure store = $ or the download would be on Amazon as I expected. Thanks to you both - I'll figure it out now, just feel silly to ask since I know I'm a couple of years behind. You get older, you lose brainpower. Not so LOL., but true. Darn.

Des- The Kindle for PC would store books on your hard drive, so you don't really need to worry about a limit since book files are not that big. On average, a book file might take up only about 1 MB -- sometimes more, sometimes a lot less -- so you could store maybe 5000 books in 5 GB. My computer has a 500 GB hard drive, so storing that many books would take up like 1% of the hard drive. And once your husband read any of those books, they could be deleted. Bottomline: It's a non-issue. Using the Kindle for PC application will not hurt the performance of your PC or affect its storage capacity in a meaningful way even if you store 1000's of books on it.

No sorry neither one of those...The site I am referring to seemed to have a couple/few women who basically made all the posts with links to diff books...some were listed as free in US only and some were free UK only..makes me sick that I lost that site...darn..The start of each month they woujld come up with a list of freebies for May, June etc..actually,I think it was Raven who posted that particular link

Monica, you said exactly what I was thinking! I had no idea that anyone had to pay a yearly fee for a library card. We pay $1 to get a card, but that is a one-time fee only. I now feel privileged. I do not have an e-reader, but use Overdrive to download audio books from our library system. I do see that they have a huge library of mobi and epub books, though. Until very recently we were also able to access the library systems of another area in our state for MP3, WMA, mobi and epub books as well. They cut us off just this year because they have determined that our county library system is large enough to be independent. Boo hoo.
