For reading Kindle books on PC, there are also three methods to read Kindle books on PC.

This is the easiest way to read Kindle books on mac. But every coin has two sides. It also makes our eBook reading a little disappointed because we can only read Kindle on Kindle apps but not in iBooks. This is because these books are only bonded with Amazon Kindle store.
