Amazon -- how do you download "saved to your Kindle" files...

....when you don't have a Kindle?

That's the problem I'm having. With zero-price books, the only option to 'purchase' them is to 'save them to your Kindle' and thereafter to 'send them to your Kindle'.

This isn't useful, and I'm not going to buy a Kindle for 6 or 7 ebooks. So -- is there any way to just download the durn things??

You can use Kindle for PC. You have to download the software and run it to set it up on your computer. It takes a couple of minutes.

Then when you buy a Kindle product you have an option to Save to Kindle for PC.

There are free Kindle aps for any number of devices - iPad and iPhone, Android, PC, Windows Phone, Blackberry, Kindle Cloud reader. You have to use one of those to open the book.

Aha! Thanks, folks -- somehow I'd totally failed to realise this "Kindle for PC" exists! Downloading now and we'll see how it works.

Yep, the first few e-books I downloaded I did through Kindle-For-PC. It's pretty simple - I think I had no troubles even on my first attempt.
