I ran into the exact same problem. Ended up returning the purchase. I used my digital credits to make this purchase. I don't understand if its meant for a kindle, why can't the kindle app on the iphone open this ebook? Confused

They make pretty solid educational "coffee table" books with really nice pictures and decent amounts of information, then randomly drop those "$35" books to $2 at random.

For $2, it's pretty much 100% always worth the grab.
