Make sure the Kindle Reader installs on the device and works to read a free book
before you suck for buying the Kindle version of a book.

On either or both of Windows XP, and Android 4.something,
I installed Kindle and it worked fine.
I turned my back on it for a year or two,
and then when I wanted to continue reading a book,
the already installed software refused to start,
because the O/S was now "unsupported".

I've subsequently decommissioned at least two of those devices,
and Kindle Reader runs A-OK on Windows 10 and Android 9, of course -
even accesses those older books in my library.

But Amazon are asshøles for pulling that stunt,
and of course I'll never trust them not to pull it again.

The least I can do to pay them back
is to spread this Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
amongst their prospective clients:

Don't Trust Amazon -
Amazon is Asshoe.
