correction on Free Peanuts Book announcement

When I said of the free Kindle edition of  It’s a Dog’s Life, Snoopy that “you don’t need a Kindle device to read it; there are Kindle programs for most computers, for the iPad and other tablets, etc.“, I was only partly, fuzzily right. This book, while readable by the iPad and Android apps, is not supported by the native Mac and PC apps. Rather, computer users should get the Kindle Cloud Reader, which works in the Chrome and Firefox web browsers. Even if this proves not to be a good way to read it, you may want to do it anyway, because having the Cloud Reader will let you order the book now while it’s free, and then if sometime in the future you get an appropriate device, you have it in your Amazon account and can download it to the new device.
