It is also not possible to buy a Kindle book if you own a Kindle.
You can just pay for right to read a digital copy of a book on your device. I mean, when you buy a paper book, you can wait until the bookshop crumble to dust and the book might still be around, possibly after changing owners dozen times without anyone yelling "police!". If that is "buying" then for sure we need a different word for paying Amazon to download a Kindle book.
Now, I like the idea of e-book readers and I will own one as soon as they make one I am satisfied with (I would buy a PRS-700 with a PRS-505 screen) and I am not saying selling of a digital book is impossible. Of course it is possible. A share is also a digital thing today and there is no problem with buying or selling them. Something along that line should work just fine.
Until then, once more, I do not see how it is possible to
buy a Kindle book.
If I am mistaken, please enlighten me.
