Good morning/evening people,

I have seen other threads in this forum where people discuss djvu files.
As I never heard of books being published in djvu format I thought that all these djvu files that people are talking about were scanned books. As no one cited any titles, they could all be books current on print.

Amazon seems to have a strange policy.
Many of the books that I would like to buy are not available for shipping to Romania. Even Kindle editions, which requires no "shipping".
Even the free public domain books in Kindle edition that are free to download in UK and US are sold for 0.99 to Romania residents.

@ kennyc:
Thanks for the sugestion on the djvu reader. I used WinDjvuReader to open the file. But what I would like is to convert it so that I can read on the Kindle and be able to increase the font size so that I can read without glasses.

I understand the book is very basic. But it's exactly what I need. It's not like I'm majoring in particle physics. I'm just doing a course on marketing and PR and was requested to write a paper on a subject that fascinates me. So it doesn't have to be highly technical. And this book is the only one that I could find on popular quantum physics (or Quantum Mechanics for Dummies as Diap put it :-)
