I've got an Amazon Fire HD tablet. I like reading and get books from a library. Recently, I've been looking at the ebooks option.I downloaded a book to my tablet but got the message"can't open file". The book was in "epub" format. Amazon ebooks come in a different format. After some extensive Googling, it turns out that you can install an app that allows you to read epub books. However, you first have to be shown how to disable a " security" feature which prevents you from downloading non Amazon provided apps. The other odd thing was that the app was listed by Amazon but refused to download.
In the great scheme of things, I know that this experience although irritating is fairly trivial. Nevertheless, there is something disturbing in the way that such a massive enterprise uses a somewhat underhand way of manipulating its tablet's system to push the punter to source ebooks exclusively from Amazon.
It's a bit like buying a Ford and finding that it will only run on Ford fuel.
