How to read a Kindle eBook on an Android based Smartphone or Tablet

1. Go to Google Appstore on your Smartphone.

2. Find the Search button and type Kindle. You will see a list of kindle apps. Download Kindle for Android app with Amazon Appstore. Note, only US users are permitted to download app from Amazon Appstore. Non-US users can go to their domestic Amazon site (such as www.amazon.uk or www.amazon.in) with the built-in browser and download Kindle app to the Android device (direct download link is available in these countries)…

3. Create an Amazon account (if you don’t already have one). If you are in India create it in Amazon.in. For US residents, Amazon.com (you get the idea…). It is free and you will see that it is a very good account to have (Trust me when I say this).
