I admit defeat

The thing is you can now get the Kindle application for any device as far as I can see....simply because the lion's share of the money is made from the "sale" of the books.

sadly not for Linux, unless you can tell me otherwise.

I looked at a Kindle or similar in the shops and tried reading something. Question. Is it mandatory to only have a reading age of three? Having a page with only about four or five lines on a page had me reaching for my paperback!

Just install the Amazon Cloud Reader on Linux (works perfectly) and read any book you have in your archive.

You need to set the font smaller! The Kindle will display pages just about the same as a paperback book and is much more convenient to read not having to fight to keep the page open.

There's a choice of font sizes, types of font and the spacing between lines - set to your preference.

My ears are analogue.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Yes that's why those Police radio operators (And the military / air traffic control bods) were so good. They could decipher a message so far down in the 'noise' that to most people it was just that - noise.

Since they were only using voice they could use VHF bands which meant much greater distances between base stations so they both saved a huge amount of money and (with a bit of experience) could still communicate when the signal was virtually non existant :lol: clever stuff eh :?:

cheers, I just did that but I can't make it download & save anything so it's no use for off ilne reading. EDIT: that was with Firefox, Chrome works fine, I guess it;s something to do with my security settings in Firefox
