Buying ebooks on Amazon means you're only getting a license to read on their machine.

However, you can buy my ebooks directly through my store. And you'll have an ebook file delivered through BookFunnel.

You can download it to your computer and then send it to your Kindle (or any device you read on).

Right now, I have 20 coupons that'll let you buy Kraken War (Dragons 2) for 99ct.
