That's how I do most of the time for my Kindle 3. This also makes it easier to "liberate" the book once it's on my PC.
Tried that several times. Downloading to PC and then copying the file, also downloading directly to the Kindle. All with rebooting between each step. Absolutely nothing works. I am also only getting the option to either mark this book as read or permanently delete, no options to remove the download like what shows up for other books. The book shows stuck on “opening” until I open another book.

I’m not totally in love with the Kindle device anyway, as I find it awkward and clunky compared to the Apple apps, but it is nice for the battery life, the gentle lighting, and the nice, light weight.

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it.
