I suggest that the easiest way to sort this problem out is to return the PDF for a refund to wherever you got it, and buy a Kindle copy directly from Amazon.

a bit off topic but...
the author is very long time dead, and his ashes were fired into space as he requested. [ and the book is >50 years old now ? ]

the $3Million allegedly spent doing that could have been better spent seeding all public libraries with free copies of his books IMHO.
I doubt he had children ( given his drug intake) , so curious to know who now profits from posthumous legal sales
even more off topic.
BBC news yesterday had the story of a man found in a crashed car who told police he swerved to avoid an octopus - I kid you not - they did him for driving on drugs - and i was immediately reminded of the opening sentence of Fear and Loathing...
"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive. . . ." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"
great book - terrible film - the whole book is on line but probably I am not allowed to post a link so LMGTFY - not . you'll have to google it yourself.
" lost control and the car went into a squid " - some twitter comment on that news story
