If that will work, then thank you. I had not realized this was possible.

Will Amazon sell a DRM-corrupted book for reading without a Kindle?
Is swindle reliable enough to depend on it in this scheme?
Since Amazon offers free sample chapters, you should be able to test the process without buying the e-book. Also, Amazon's return policy apparently allows you to return an e-book within a specified period, so you'd get your money back if you can't convert the book.
