I just opened an email from Waterstones and saw an e-book I like - The Rose of Tibet at £4.68. I looked at Amazon and there it was £5.63(the paperback version was £5 more than Waterstones!!!!)
I've not bought my e-books for my kindle from anybody else.
Any advice on what to do???

I use Calibre downloaded on my computer to organise all my ebooks and it will also convert any ebooks to the kindle epub format. Very easy to use.

From Waterstones web site: "Due to differences in eBook formats and DRM, the eBooks currently sold on Waterstones.com (ePUB eBooks) are not compatible with the Kindle.
However, if you are using a Kindle Fire then you can use the OverDrive app if you wish to read ePUB eBooks on this device."
I also use Calibre - magic programme - but it does not list a DRM convert file anywhere so be a bit careful. I can not find this book or the author "Lionel Davidson" anywhere on the free downloads available on the Internet so if you really want it you need to seek a different method. If you wish to download it to computer then you need addition software to do this as well.
