You still purchase your Kindle books. Instead of using the Amazon Kindle app, you can convert your files to another format of your own choosing by using a program called Codex. I am placing the link here. The program allows one to convert .pdf, .epub, .azw or whatever file type the Amazon books are in, and other formats from one to another. For example, you can even convert a .docx to a .txt or .rtf. It is pretty easy to use and it can be run in the Windows Explorer, at least on Win7 machines, through the context menu. You set your default file type for output and when you select convert, your file is automatically converted to the file you requested. There is also an option to choose another file type without changing your default. For example, you found a magazine article you wanted to read quickly..save it as a .txt and read it quickly. So, finally, here is the link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5121410/Codex-2.0-setup.exe Oh yes, I used it yesterday and was informed there is a newer version. You can update it directly from the program.
