This is from Maccentral

"Alan Macdougall thinks hope may lie with Amazon.com rather than with any
of Barnes & Noble's convoluted, frustrating methods. He says Amazon.com
continues to offer the book free and are much more upbeat about Mac
users. Have a look at http://www.amazon.com/exec/
obidos/subst/promotions/stephen-king/stephen-king-mac.html. Apparently,
they expect a solution for Mac users within 4-5 days. "

So, if you can already download it for free at Amazon.com why not Newton
Intelligence? Or, do you think Amazon is paying $2.50 for every download?
