mmegaeraOkay. I downloaded the Kindle app to my Windows 8 computer some time ago. I have the tile on my start screen to prove it. But the app seems permanently and inextricably linked to only one book, and it won't let me open any other books with it! I can't even get to a menu of the books I theoretically have available.
I need to be able to open a particular reference book on my desktop so that I can refer to it easily without having to use my Kindle.
Help??? Please??? I've tried to figure it out on my own, but it just won't work.
Yes, I could use Calibre (if I could figure out how to get the book *to* Calibre -- but when I try to open the book file, it doesn't give me Calibre as an option), but at this stage of the game? It's the principle of the thing. I should be in charge of my computer, not the other way round.
Katrina? Obi-Wan? You're my only hope [wry g].
ETA: No, I can't use Calibre. The damned book is DRM'd.
ETA the 2nd Ha! Joycemocha over on LJ said, click in the middle of the screen and three lines will appear in the upper lefthand corner. If I then click on *that*, I get my list of books!!! Boy, do I feel *stupid*. Thank you, Joycemocha!!!
