greg, you still haven't answered my question.
why doesn't p.g. offer to people the ability to request that a p.g. e-book be e-mailed to their kindle account?
seems to me that would be user-friendly...
if you don't know how to do this technically, i'd guess that someone here can probably help you figure it out.

I don't know how to do that, and didn't notice you had asked earlier. We haven't emailed books before, but I agree it might be desirable. I can think of some details that matter (i.e., preventing emailing books to strangers; books that are too big for email).
The readingroo.ms site is, as always, available for anyone wanting to do experimentation.
The humble bundle site manages this by letting users add the humble bundle kindle address to their authorised kindle email addresses, and providing an email address for the kindle device to humblebundle. This then automates the emailing/library storing of any books the user wants to download to their kindle. I found their system neat and fast. Z
