Can you download textbook you already own onto a kindle?
I own some textbooks and I am considering buying a kindle. I do not want to have to purchase these textbooks again so I can use a kindle. Is at hand any way that I can enter a code or ISBN number so I can easily download those textbooks onto a kindle lacking re-buying the books?
Answers:
The Kindle variation and the paper versions of books are considered two separate products. If you own a paper altered copy of a book, you still have to purchase the book again if you want the Kindle version.
If you have a book as a .pdf, later you can upload that to your Kindle for free.
Textbooks are hard to find on Kindle. And unless your textbook is just text (as contained by no pictures, no tables, etc.) then it's going to look pretty bad on the Kindle. I'd articulate for now, keep your textbook that you have this time, and contained by the future consider getting the Kindle versions. Source(s): I own a Kindle.
It depends on the format the book is in and the DRM (digital rights management).
If the book has no DRM (unlikely) you can effortlessly submit the file to Amazon to convert into Kindle format. Keep in mind that the graphics are not very right and only in black and white.
I've heard rumors roughly speaking the next generation Kindle being better suited for textbook. You may want to wait for that to come out. The current version is good for pleasure reading, but within my opinion would be too small for a textbook. Unless you are an English/journalism/or similar major.
There is a 30 day no question asked return policy. You can try it out and if it doesn't work, then return it.
Also, you can ask your questions on a yahoo group called Kindle Korner. You can take many opinions and ideas from that group.
What I have heard is that, if your textbook come with a CD that has the Ebook on it, that you should be capable of download it to your computer and then transfer it to the kindle.
As far as textbooks you might want to purchase, this is the dig out link for kindle books on Amazon:
