Many expensive textbooks published by Pearson are only delivered by Amazon to specific platforms with stronger DRM. Some examples are:

Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach

On Cooking: A Textbook of Culinary Fundamental

In the descriptions of those books it states "This title is only available on select devices and the latest version of the Kindle app. Please refer to the supported device list before purchase." The first shows Kindle for PC as an option and the second does not.

I cannot test it as I do not want to purchase those books. However I believe that neither will download on that platform.

I tried to use the "Send a free sample" button but for some reason it is not working for me on those books. I always get a screen stating "We couldn’t find a registered device in your Amazon account that supports reading this title" even though I have Kindle apps registered on my account that should be supported according to the "Available on these devices" link.
