No, Kindle on Mac is not accessible. If you can get rid of the DRM using the
caliber app, then you can read it on the Mac. But the caliber is not

Hi Eilene. Short answer, you don't. The app is totally inaccessible on the Mac.
You can get sighted help to register it, but then, you can't read books in it,
so what's the advantage, unless you plan to download books in to it and then
strip the drm. But since the i_h\\Phone app is accessible,
Hi,
I decided to delete it from the Air. It's in the trash, but it seems like it's
hanging there. I'm not sure how long it will take for it to be completely
deleted. This is the first time I am deleting an appllication from the Air.
What a disapppointment not to be able to use it on the Mac.
I hear that the Kindle app is not accessible on the Mac. It's a shame, but
there you go.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but until Amazon gets their act together,
you will have to use it on iOS or other platforms.

You can buy kindle books using the amazon mobile app. Or you can use the amazon
site from Safari or whatever browser you use on your Mac or pc. I prefer the

It is indeed a good news. I just found out about it this morning. I have not

You have to go to the Amazon site, but it's easy to search for books It's

buying--like The Hunger Games trilogy
