Re: Problems downloading PG titles without a web browser

I have no clue what is going so I quote from an email below:

Quote (from a UK reader): I am based in the UK. Having used Magic Catalog
with my "old" Kindle Keyboard without problems, I tried it on my wife's new
Kindle. The books downloaded (by Wi-Fi) but the titles appeared as "pg000"
format, and when attempting to open them they would not open. I went back to
my "old" Kindle and found the same problem there! I discovered that the Web
Page to which my browser defaulted was now amazon.co.uk (previously it had
been Google). I think the kindle update (which happens automatically when I
switch wi-fi on) had changed the default browser page, and that the Magic
Catalog download was sending via Amazon - which was corrupting it (?!). I
changed my default browser page back to google.co.uk - and direct download
from the Magic Catalog works again! I will keep an eye on what page my
browser defaults to - especially after an automatic update of the Kindle.
