you can download it to your cloud. I have an app in Chrome on my computer to read it on the computer. I also downloaded the Kindle app to my Android tablet so that I can read Kindle books on my tablet. I keep all of the free Kindle books I get in my cloud, then I can read them on whichever device is convenient at the time. I can also move between devices since Kindle apps will sync with the cloud.
