Kindle books can be bought with a Mac. The Kindle connects to the Mac with the supplied USB cable. There is a free app for the iPhone and iPod Touch which lets you read your Kindle books on those devices.

Can Kindle books be bought on your Mac?

If you have a Kindle 3G, there is absolutely no need for a connection to any computer. Upon placing an order for a kindle book on amazon.com the book is delivered wirelessly to the device. The device basically has a cell phone inside that operates on Sprint's CDMA network. This is all free of charge. This way you get new content on the device without it ever touching a computer. If you do live in an area where you don't have good CDMA reception or if have a WiFi only Kindle you can plug the kindle into any computer using a USB cable and it will basically just act as a USB flash drive. You will see all the files on the kindle and you just need to place the kindle books in the correct folder. The kindle operates a Linux operating system so it should cause no issues connecting it to any OS whether it be Windows, Mac OSX, or any distro of Linux.

How do you eject your Kindle from your computer?

I love computer folks and their thought that all of us use their language. I was baffled by that message too. I did some research and here is what I came up with... Go to the start menu on your computer while the kindle is plugged into your usb port. Go to My Computer (or just Computer on Windows Vista). Open that and you should see your kindle in one of your drives. Right click over that drive and you should see an option to eject. Click on that and you should be able to go back to reading your kindle. Why it doesn't say "Go to start menu, then my computer then right click on kindle and click eject" to continue reading while plugged into the usb port....is totally beyond me.

Can you lend a book from a nook color to a Kindle Fire?

No. Unless you can somehow download it to your computer and change the format of the book to one the Nook can read. No. They are each their own different brands, so you cannot access the nook store on the kindle. If they have DRM - no, cannot be opend with a kindle. If the do not have DRM - they can be converted using third party software (e.g. calibre). Kindle books use a proprietary format that can only be read on Kindles or devices running a Kindle app including the iPhone, Android phones, iPad, Mac and PC. The Nook can not read ebook in the Kindle format. Both the Kindle and Nook can read ebooks in some other common formats but these are used for free ebook titles that are one or two centuries old. No. Books that are on Kindle devices are ".mobi" files. Nooks read ".epub" files. As of 3/25/12, there is no way to put books from your Nook onto your Kindle.
