I am looking for John Manley's The Liskeard Mining Area in 1863 Interactive Map on CD ROM. It is now currently downloadable from Amazon but only in Kindle format; a format I don't use. I have tried contacting John via his Navbooks blog and an email address he gave out on AN, but so far, no reply.

Can anyone help please?

There are many bits of software (some free) out there that can convert various ebook formats into other ebook formats (or even plain HTML). Might be worth seeing what is available for your favoured device. Also bear in mind that Amazon makes available a free PC kindle reader for several devices including PC's and Mac's.

I have this and the Tamar one, you can just copy them over onto disk and run them by clicking on them. I suspect installation is just a copy process with no Windows registry entries.

I cannot email them as they are .exe files and the servers would delete them believing then to be virus attachments.

I might put them on a web server for down load.
They are old software now. Are they copyright or were they free ware?

If it's anything to do with Amazon, it'll be DRMed to the max.

I think they must be copyrighted, especially as the new version is Kindle-based.

I was hoping to buy one if anyone had one going begging. The alternative will be to download the Amazon Kindle for Windows software and then buy it in that format; not at great cost.

Just tried to install the Amazon Kindle reader, it repeatedly fails on registration>:(
