How to read Kindle books without a Kindle

With my new novel, "The Harder They Fall", now available on Kindle I've found that some people who want to read it don't have a Kindle but still want to try it without having to go and buy one.

Luckily, you don't need an actual Kindle. If you have an iPhone, iPad or Android Smartphone you can simply go to your app store, browse for "Kindle" and download a FREE Kindle reading app to your device. If you have a PC or MAC they have one for you too. Click HERE to download one.Then you can get your books straight to your phone and read on the bus, train or wherever.



I have a Kindle myself, I ordered it as soon as they started shipping them outside the States, but I actually prefer to use the Kindle app on the iPad.
The app will have an icon like this in your app store.


You will need to sign up for an Amazon account in order to use your new Kindle app but its a quick and easy process. When you download the app you'll need to enter your personal and billing info with some credit card details but you only have to do this once. Then when the app opens make sure you register when it asks you to. If you don't you'll only have to come back and do it later!

With your app installed you're all set to dive into the digital publishing revolution. Just click on the button to search the Kindle store (It's in the top right corner),


type in your favorite author's name or book title ("The Harder They Fall" for instance...), and download books and samples in seconds.

Happy Reading!

Will
