Barb’s First E-book



Barb follows the Pickleball Guru’s Blog on the internet.  She was excited because he was publishing a strategy e-book and for the first day it was on sale on Amazon for 99 cents.  She was able to read the first chapter for free.  She thought it was good.  So I bought the book for her.  It came as a Kindle e-book.  So we had to download the Kindle e-book reader software for our computers.  But we couldn’t put the Kindle formatted e-book on my e-book reader.  Amazon is hoping to monopolize the e-book market by making everyone buy Kindle readers to read their e-books.  Fortunately, I found an e-book reader package that could convert Kindle format e-books to Epub format which is the standard for most e-book readers.  Barb was then able to read her Pickleball book on my e-reader.  She had never used it before and thought it was pretty cool.
