Firstly Thanks for downloading one of our ebooks! Here’s some tips and common problems:
Kindle Issues
Reading The Kindle Edition
If you don’t have a kindle reader, you can still open kindle files using one of the amazon kindle reader apps (for PC, apple, android etc)
You can download them here. However if this is the case, we recommend using our epub reader or PDF editions instead – these are much easier to handle than kindle.
