If you go to your bookshelf right after cancelling a sale, the bloggers over at Gesture Theory are reporting that you can still open the ebook. The sale is cancelled, and you’d expect the partial downloaded ebook to be deleted, right? Unfortunately for Amazon, the delete command doesn’t arrive quite as fast as the cancellation, and therein lies the flaw. But there’s also a quirk in the process, and it involves how you can cancel a sale shortly after buying the ebook (and while it is still downloading). Amazon is so eager to get the ebook to you that it immediately downloads it right after you click the buy button. It turns out that there’s a quirk in how the Kindle Store works on the Kindle Fire. If you catch the download in the right spot you can stop it halfway, not pay for it, and then later open the ebook and read it for free. A couple of bloggers over at Gesture Theory noticed that there is a minor flaw in how the Kindle Fire downloads ebooks. If you don’t mind never being able to open more than a single book at one time, I have a trick for you.
