There's normally no option to download a book (except for the one that wouldn't open) and – so far – I haven't seen any book download automatically for offline reading. Last edited by rcentros; 07-16-2020 at 09:38 AM. Reason: Linux Mint 19.1, not 19.3 on this computer. |

Doing a little more digging, it is looking like there are two different versions and it does not appear to only divide on a window/linux line.
So far, on a recently installed Windows box, I get the version without download/offline for chromium, edge (new chromium based version, and firefox. On my linux box, chromium downloads for offline, but firefox does not. In fact, google-chrom (as opposed to locally compiled chromium) does not download. What seems to make the difference is if I visited read.amazon.com in the past or for the first time on this browser. Any first time visits gets to new non downloading version. So it does look like things have changed and not for the better. |

Just to be clear, the "download link" you are emailed is to download the Kindle for PC/Mac software. It does not send you a link to download the actual book.
