Note that there are other free versions for other platforms too.

Thanks for that link. I did not know that there was such as thing as kindle for pc reader.

Reg,

I followed your link but Amazon says that it is $12.98 in the US or £8.39 in the UK for the kindle edition. Am I doing something wrong?

Best wishes,
Steve

I don't think it was a mistake as I believe Amazon regularly put ebooks up for free for a limited time (or number of downloads) as a promotion. You just just gotta keep your eyes open and be very quick.

I hope some of you guys got a chance at this one.

You can get all sorts of e-readers for free for the PC or other platforms. I have over five of them on my pc - just because sometimes you can get it in one format but not any others. My personal e-reader is a Nook - with the WitE rules loaded.
