It was pointed out to me on another thread that the direct download to your computer option from Amazon is not available unless you have a Kindle on your account. In this case, the first step becomes to open your Kindle for PC application, which will sync and download your EBook file to your Kindle for PC application. Otherwise the steps are the same. You don't need to download both an .acsm file and an epub file. Granted, not a significant difference but a difference nevertheless.

Actually, it is slightly more difficult with Amazon then with ADE. If you do not own a Kindle, you have to run Kindle for PC and then download the eBook(s) which is more difficult then just downloading the acsm file which can be downloaded via the web browser and have ADE auto-run so ADE run, downloads the eBook using the acsm file. With Amazon, once you are in Kindle for PC, you have to sync before you can download the eBook. I just thing ADE is easier. It may not be much easier, but it is easier. And then finding a specific ePub eBook is easier because you have filenames that make sense. If you are looking for the newwest downloads, then you sort by date and that's not a problem. So ADE wins yet again in finding a specific eBook.
