No download and nothing to print for coloring. Cant even be certain the samples they give us are actually in this coloring book. as theyre also used for other coloring books. Again. these are the simple sampler designs that are in other coloring books of theirs. Based on these samples. will not recommend.What good are these coloring books to Kindle owners...None.When we buy coloring books in stores we can look inside to see if we like the designs and check for any designs we already have. WHY Not Here On ??1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Stay stress free with this bookBy HopeGreat free coloring book. I ran across this when looking for adult coloring books. With it being a kindle book it has a download link in it so I can print out the hard copies to color. I love all of the details to color. It will keep me busy for hours on end.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Two StarsBy SeriouslyNot much to see here. You get what you pay for.
