any way to buy amazon.jp ebooks without having a kindle device?

Thanks everybody for your ideas.

Unfortunately:
1) Amazon.jp Kindle Cloud Reader only works with certain mangas and light novels; not with books.
2) These ebooks are in KCP format, which can't be accessed by anything other than a kindle device; Consequently, I can't convert them/DRM strip them.

I haven't tried merging accounts yet, because, honestly, I made this amazon.jp account (my second) just to buy japanese ebooks using a VPN. Though I'm not sure I understand how that would help with accessing on pc the ebooks I bought.

Another idea I had was to mirror my iphone's screen on my pc. This way I would be able to read on a much bigger screen and use Kanjitomo for kanji look ups.


What a f----- hassle though... I just wish it were possible to buy DRM-free japanese ebooks. Reading stuff on the internet (and using Rikaichan) gets boring after a while; And with actual, physical books it just takes so damn long to manually look up each unknown kanji.
