title_body: Is there a way to read kindle books on Windows which do not support Windows? I read on multiple devices: Windows, Mac, iPad, Android Phone, even an old Kindle DX all from Amazon.
  
  One problem I have is some books seem to be designed to work only on some devices. I suspect the reason for this is to avoid screen capture which is clearly easier on Windows than on a smartphone.
  
  Lending evidence to my suspicion is the fact that when I try to open some books on Windows, I get this message:
  
  
    The item is not compatible with this device.
  
  
  I do not get this error trying to open on either the iPad or Android phone.
  
  I do find it frustrating that I am unable to read some of my books on some of my devices (especially when my Windows computer has a much larger screen).
  
  So, is there a way to work-around this limitation so I can read all these books on Windows?
upvoted_answer: As we discussed in the comments, you can use the Kindle Cloud Reader to read your books in your browser, instead of in the Windows desktop application.
