MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Amazon to allow downloads of DRM free books

I have tried to download what I assume to be PDF copies of various books. It takes a while for the PDF document to download as a browser page. When I try to save the file, I get the following:

ebook-
contentDTP_ long file name of letters and numbers.xml

Couldn't download - no permissions.

There is an option to edit with Acrobat where I get the sales pitch to subscribe to the software. Also, an option to sign in. The sales pitch page has no sign in option. So, I went through the exercise of downloading and installing Adobe Acrobat Reader plus updating my Adobe password.

Any idea where the permission comes from?
