Burnham’s celestial handbooks on Kindle?

[JeremyS]

Would like to have these on my iPad. Amazon site lists Kindle option, but doesn’t seem available 

A few websites seem to have a pdf version. Not sure how safe these sites are tho. The US archive site has it, but only sample pages available without registering 

Anyone had success ?

I haven't tried to buy the Kindle version, as I already have the print volumes, but I was able to have Amazon send me the free sample pages.

Yes I have the Kindle versions but got them a long time ago. Burnhams is anyway over rated and a cult book amongst certain parts of the US community rather than anything useful today.

Still an interesting read though.

So I got one of those “based on your recent browsing we recommend” Amazon emails this AM, pointing me to Burnham’s on Kindle. This time the Kindle button was active so I downloaded vol 1. The other two are also available

What device where you trying to buy from? If using the Amazon app on android, you can no longer buy digital content as Amazon have to pay 30% to Google (a condition of the Play store). The same may be true of Apple - however on that same device if you go to the Amazon website using the browser you can purchase digital content.

I've just checked - you can't buy kindle books through the App on iPhone and iPad either - you have to use the website.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GDZF9S2BRW5NWJCW

Thanks. That is interesting. I noticed when I followed the link from the Amazon email to the kindle download for Burnham’s, it asked me if I wanted to open the App just as it always does. I said yes, but I now see that it overrules it and goes to the website instead, where I can download
