That is a book in English with no apparent content that would make it incompatible with older Kindle formats. The restriction to KFX-only appears to be a decision made by the publisher, Westland, which is an Amazon imprint.
Amazon's Content & Devices page shows that the book can only be delivered to my registered apps and devices that support KFX with the latest DRM. It cannot be sent to a Kindle 3 Keyboard or Kindle 2 device. Trying to download it from the Kindle 3 pops up an error dialog: "Unavailable for Download. The item is not compatible with this device." |
If this Kindle actually boots up, I'll give it a go and see what happens. I don't know if the battery is shot or not. The orange light is on, but it's taking a rather long time to start up. It's been over an hour since it was put on charge. This is one reason I dislike Kindles. If they had the ability to be turned off, this one would have been turned off and it would be working now.
