I downloaded a Rick Steves book from Amazon. It is in my Kindle app on my Ipad. Is there a way to move it to the Rick Steves' Reader? I'm not sure if his reader is better than the Kindle App, but I would like to compare them. Going to France in May! Thanks! Ruth

If you mean the Sony Reader....you can't transfer books from Kindle to Sony or vis versa.

It's an Ipad app. When I ordered a RS ebook and got the free "Europe Through The Back Door," it downloaded into the Rick Steves' Reader app. However, after using both that app and the Kindle app for the Ipad, I think I prefer the Kindle one, so I'll stick with that.

Ruth, Could you clarify what you're referring to as a "Rick Steves Reader"? Are you referring to the RS Audio Europe App? If that's the case, I doubt that you'll be able to transfer your RS Guidebook, as they're two different Apps. Each type of E-books uses a specific and often proprietary format to encode their books. Kindle (Amazon) uses either AZW / Mobipocket or KF8 formats, which (AFAIK) are not compatible with anything other than Kindle Readers. Cheers!

Okay I see what you mean now. There is indeed an app for apple and Android called "Rick Steves Reader". It's affiliated with Adobe's Ebook service. But titles from Kindle can't be transferred to the Reader:(

The Iphone 5 has the Rick Steves Reader app on it also.
