Hello Mary,
Yes, I think when you select which device to send the book to, a key /
torrent type file is sent to that device. Amazon encourage you to load
the application from their website so that is seemless. When the
application is opened it lists the book. Then it's for the application
to pull the book down, providing all the authenticity checks have passed.
I observed this when I purchased a number of books. I had opened the PC
Kindle application and cursored through my library. All my books were
there. But when I asked DRM removal to remove DRM from all the files in
"My Kindle Content" folder it only found the one book I had actually
opened. I went back into the application and opened the other books and
the removal software then found them all.
It could be that there were connection issues which just coincided with
my activity. But I just rationalised Amazon's paranoia was at work. It
would make sense that as a final check, that the device receiving the
file is a preregistered device as you are entitled to have your content
on more than one device.

Hi Gina,
That has not been my experience with the Kindle app, that you must select the
book in order for it to download fully. I've just opened the Kindle app on the
Mac and let it hang out for a bit, then my sighted spouse comes in, opens
Caliber and does his thing. I use to have the Kindle for pc app, which did have
some rudimentary accessibility. And with that app too, all I had to do was buy
a book, tell Amazon to direct it to my kindle for pc app, open the app and
presto, it would show up in the library and could be opened. I've read kindle
books that have been drm stripped on my iPad, and they weren't cut off in the
middle. So perhaps this has changed regarding the need to actually focus on the
book in the application before it completely downloads.
