Hmm... interesting.

When I used Firefox (and it's a few versions old), my purchase was interrupted by the site telling me I did not have MSReader, or that it needed to be activated (neither of which was true). When I went to the download or reactivation page, I was instructed that I had to use IE or one of 4 versions of Netscape. I stopped there, instead of reloading MSReader, and plugged the book URL into IE instead.

There, I was able to finish the purchase process without being told I needed to do anything with MSReader. I was taken to download, and although the first attempt did not actually take, the second try did. As I had MSReader already open, the book appeared in the index immediately, and opened just fine.
