    Good day. I recently purchased: Celtic Line Drawing – Simplified e-book for Kindle. As mentioned, the e-book does not open on my iPad, only on my android phone – which is not ideal due to the screen size. I find the book incredibly awesome and would love to be able to open the book on my iPad. When trying to purchase the book for iPad the link provided, I receive a message saying the book is not available for purchase in my country. Is there ANY other way by which I can purchase the e-book for Apple iPad?

      Hi Marius,

      Thanks so much for your purchase, and I’m sorry for the difficulty with the Kindle render problem on Apple products. Unfortunately, Apple determines the countries where Apple Books allows sales, and I have no control over that other than selecting the preference for the book to be available in all countries as Apple adds them. I believe you do have a 7 day window with Amazon Kindle for a refund. Also, if you have access to a windows computer, Kindle readers are available for free download and will properly render the Amazon Kindle version of my book. Sorry for the problem.

      Tom
