Quick E-book question (for readers)

Kindle on PC works fairly well, they also have smartphone apps for most platforms as well.

 

I'm seconding what has been said, but I'll add a "user experience" on the side of Kindle.

I'm not trying to sell you anything but (hehe that inevitable "but") truthfully I thought I would hate the experience of reading on a kindle/generic eReader device (no pages, or new book smell and so on...), but I got talked into getting one for christmas and I'm not disappointed with it in the slightest. I find I tend to save it for books I'd like to read but can't justify spending paperback prices on, and stuff thats coming into the public domain (most of the good British classics, lovecraft, conan doyle, etc., etc.). An example: I'm reading the Dresden Files series, with their wonderful covers I'd much rather own physical copies of the entire thing. Whereas self-published works, or books I simply can't find in the shops, I'll get them for kindle.

It well worth getting the pc or mobile versions of kindle, if only for the Self-published market.

 

Oh, forgot to mention one thing I love about the Kindle. I can email my manuscript to my kindle email address, and it shows up on my device, mostly formatted correctly. It makes reviewing really easy.

 

Anything you buy for the Kindle platform can be read in lots of different ways:

• On an actual Kindle device
• On an iPhone (or iPad) or Android phone with the relevant Kindle app (free)
• Online (http://read.amazon.com) (free)
• On your computer (Kindle for PC app, but now that read.amazon.com exists, I don't know why you would bother with this) (free)
• There might be other ways, I don't know, but I think that covers it.
