It takes a few minutes to download this exe file then when you click on it it opens another program that downloads the program you actually need.
WTH is the point of this? I downloaded a program that allows me to download the program I intended to download in the first place? This makes no sense to me. Seems kind of counter-productive and non-intuitive to me. What was wrong with going to the support site and downloaded the correct program in the first place? Especially since I still have to install this new program once it's done downloading only to have to download the audio for the two new books she was given by my brother for her birthday yesterday [this was a run-on sentence..cool]. I understand they can't preload all the audio books in their library on the reader device, but they still could have made it so you could just go to their website pick the book you wish to download the audio for and click on install. Just doesn't make sense.
I've noticed this trend a lot and fidn it more annoying now that I don't have a stable internet connection now. I shut my high speed off and have been using my Android phone tethered to my PC. I have spotty 3g service as it is and 90% of the time it drops to 1x service where I live. So, it takes forever to download things. It took me two days to download the 1.4 patch for Skyrim on a tether.
