Kindle App



Download Free Kindle AppsDid you know that you don’t need a Kindle to enjoy reading eBooks? With a Kindle App you can read eBooks from your iPhone, Windows PC, Mac, Blackberry, iPad, Android, and Windows Phone 7.

You can also get access to thousands of Free eBooks – books such as Pride and Prejudice or Treasure Island. There are over 950,000 eBooks offered by the Kindle Store. You can get free eBook samples before you decide to buy.

A very useful feature is Whispernets technology to synchronize and save where you ended your reading (like bookmarking the page for you) and it does so across all your Kindle devices.

If you’re worried that your Blackberry or iPhone’s text will be too small for you to read from, you can adjust the font sizing.

By the way, Kindle Apps are free.

It would seem that  Amazon, knowing it’s leading position in e-readers, has wanted to ensure the release of a color Kindle would not compromise it’s reputation for providing quality reading resolution. If the holiday season offering is true, the new Kindle Color will amalgamate resolution quality along with color.

Kindle’s competitor, the Nook, currently offers a reading tablet in color. Taiwanese electronics manufacturer, Quanta Computer, has received the order from Amazon to go ahead with the production of the color Kindle: The Nook will be competing head to head with the new Kindle Color.
