And if your next question is why would you want to read Kindle books on other devices?, see my comment here

Also, Harry, has American English truly devolved so much from British English that my statement was actually ambiguous? I guess I could have written it as "you cannot purchase books from the Amazon.com Kindle store unless you own a Kindle device," but that phrasing seems very awkward to me.
