How to read Kindle eBooks on pc?

There are two different methods. One is via the kindle pc app, and the other method is through kindle cloud reader.

Kindle pc app

The kindle pc app allows users to have an app that contains kindle eBooks on their mac or windows pc. Let us show you how you can have it set up.

Kindle cloud reader

Kindle cloud reader is not an app. It’s a website from where you can access all Kindle eBooks. Just like any other website, this requires you to sign in.

Which method is better?

If you ask me about which method is better suited for you, I would have to say Kindle pc app.

Having the app gives you a direct solitary experience of using a kindle itself where there are no distractions. On the other hand, when you will access kindle cloud reader, you will be on your web browser from where you can easily get diverted.

Also, the cloud reader is much more suitable for mobile use on the go than pc. So, our suggestion would be to go for the kindle pc app.

All you have to do is choose one method from above, and you can start reading kindle books in no time.
