If it's Linux, that might explain why you're not seeing the "Download" button?

Giving the user the appropriate reading app for their OS may not be to everyone's liking, but it probably qualifies as a "comprehensible reason".

The direct link to the K4PC download is this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/kindle/pc/download
No, that does not explain in any comprehensible manner why they tore down the old per-platform pages, redirected them ALL to a shared splash screen, and then instead of giving you an appropriate link for your platform, ask you for your phone number so they can text you the link instead.

That is why I ask the obvious.
You at least, I get. You at least, responded before I did.
It is the other two individuals I was responding to. The ones who explicitly rejected my post, responding after I did by disagreeing with me, but without stating why they think I am wrong.
