That doesn't sound right. When I buy Kindle books, it only asks which device I want it downloaded to. Suggest you make sure you have the Kindle format highlighted. Then the "buy" button usually says something like "Buy with one-click" (which is the way I have Amazon set up) and right below that it shows which device to deliver it to (I have several -- a Kindle, a kindle Fire, my iPhone, etc.)C-dub wrote:I've been reading "The Second Amendment Primer" hard copy and thought I'd get the electronic version to be able to read at work during breaks. I was a little confused when it asked for a shipping address, so I backed out of that since I didn't want another hard copy. Is that normal for it to ask about a shipping address for an e-book?

Re: Kindle pros and cons
I have an older model Kindle from about 3 years ago, and I loved it at the time, and I loved having my whole library on it. But it turned out I ended up reading more on my iPhone using the Kindle App because it was always with me.
A few months ago I bought the cheapest Kindle Fire for my wife, was $35 on sale (Prime day I think), and turns out I really like it! So when they had another sale I bought one for me for $35, and it is great to read kindle books on, plus I can check email and Texaschlforum
and other websites. It really is pretty nifty for the price, good quality screen, find it easy to read. I use it mostly around the house or the office where I have good wifi connections. For "the road" I still use my iPhone.
The only drawback I find to the Kindles, whether regular or Fire, is that they are not great if the book has detailed illustrations or photographs. Really need a larger, high quality screen for things like that.
But for books that are largely or solely text, they are great.
