title_body: Read Kindle books without Kindle or Kindle app?
upvoted_answer: Yes, you can in theory read Kindle books on almost any other ebook reader or tablet. 
  
  However, this requires you to convert your mobi or azw file to other formats, such as epub. There is software for this, but, as you can imagine, you will be breaking the DRM. It is therefore not legal, at least in the United States and presumably other countries where the Kindle is sold. Not a great option!
  
  If you dislike Amazon devices and software, a better option is to buy books in the epub format. These are not sold by Amazon, but you can find them in online stores such as Barnes &amp; Noble. The epub format give you legal access to a far greater range of devices.
