He has several kindle books at Amazon that I’m interested but I don’t have a kindle or anything similar. Is there a desktop/laptop reader for those?
Yes, there is. It's HERE. There's also a free app for your cell phone (if any) HERE.
I've been pretty impressed, actually, but it's a little creepy to read on your Kindle, then log into the web app and it's on the same page. :-)
Amazon does have a Kindle for PC app that you can download for free. Also Kindle apps for android and iphones. (Amazon wants to sell you the kindle books).
