Hm, I could register my machine, but I'm not able to download books from work. It does use the IE proxy though, so, I presume it has something to do with using a different port.
(I have a laptop which I take home every day, and I could only download books after turning off the proxy in my IE when I was at home) |

Nope. I can't get it to start downloading unless I pick the machine I'm trying to download it on... (it gives a notice that it won't work on the pc... let's see if I can find it in a cache somewhere...) Edit: nope, it just refused to even start downloading it...

I can read an ebook in my machine in a concealed way. I cannot take the computer tower to my home in the same way. I find it quite consistent xP. Thanks for the information Sweetpea. So an usb modem for a one time connection would be the best option?, i'm not sure if k4pc will have problems with this too. Anybody has tried it? Thanks! |

using kindle4pc behind work proxy
Had the same problem, and in my case, I have the 6" kindle, so I prefer using kindle4pc to read certain books (especially technical ones). I solved the problem using a virtual machine (I used virtualbox, but I imagine any one would work) . I cary the virtual disk on a flash drive, and download the ebooks at home, then I just pop in the flash drive at work and fire up the virtual machine with the e-books already downloaded. It´s a clumsy solution, but it works for me.
