Kindle free books: Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events [OFFER EXPIRED] - Page 2

Did anyone manage to get #7 & #8 for free?

ficbot · 04-03-2010, 04:53 PM

Is there any way to do this JUST using Kindle for Mac? As in, I do have a real Kindle but it is not hooked up to the account I used to download the books, nor do I want it to be. So just using the books stored in the Kindle for Mac program, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Erm... ok... that seems to make thing difficult.

Using them for what? To read on your Mac... yes.

Oh... kindle for PC creates a different PID for each book you d/l. There is a way to do it... I think there is a thread on it here somewhere. But, to get the full instructions you'll have to use google.

I think the "wah" at the end really gave it away

No-one has found out how to work out the per-book PID for Kindle for Mac downloads. So the answer is no, you can't 'liberate' Kindle for Mac downloads (yet).

No, nor #1. Weird. I'd expect them to make #1 free, or possible #1, #2 and #3. But to make only #2-6, #9-13 free seems just weird!

I now have the free ones, but I won't be reading them for a long time. I'm not buying #1 until my TBR list is a lot shorter!

(& I (or rather, my daughter) has them all in paper anyway.)

Thanks, Pdurrant. I may bring my netbook home from school (I leave it there) and install the Kindle app on that.

Hmm.. I was under the impression that this had been solved. Perhaps I was reading about it in a dream.

It's been solved for Kindle for PC. I don't think it's been solved for Kindle for Mac.

Ah, subtle but important difference.

All the free Lemony Snicket eBooks are now gone and all Amazon have left are the three for pay.
