Bluestacks worked brilliantly for installing Android, installing and running the Kindle app. It synched nicely and I was reading books on my 'phone' in no time.

Sadly, this story doesn't have a happy ending. I downloaded a sample of From Hell (the graphic novel that has set me this challenge) with no problem, but when I click to read the book I get a 'Loading ...' message that disappears after a few seconds. And that's all.

As I say, it works beautifully for ebooks (including, most annooyingly, the From Hell companion which includes illustrations from the original!), but it looks like graphic novels might just be a step too far.

I'm very impressed with how well Bluestacks works and I can see myself using it even if I can't read graphic novels using it. That said, if anyone's got any ideas I'd love to hear them.
