I went looking for a few books from Gateway at Amazon UK. I saw that I was unable to download to Kindle for PC. I could download to my iPhone or use Kindle Cloud Reader. These are books that have typesetting enabled.

I was able to go to Kobo and set myself for India and buy from there no problem and I got a nice box standard ePub.

So what is up with Amazon? Do they really want to lose sales?
