Amazon Launches Kindle Application for iPhone and iPod Touch

Don't want to dish out $360 bucks on a Kindle 2 when you have a perfectly good iPhone or iPod touch? Then simply down the Amazon Kindle App from the Apple App Store! Sure it won't give you the full functionality of the Kindle such as e-ink but it will give you most of the features, including Amazon's new Whispersync technology that saves and synchronizes your bookmark across multiple devices. You could be reading on your iPhone one minute and then switch to the Kindle 2 the next, and it knows exactly where you left off on the iPhone so you'll never lose your place again.

We are excited to bring the new Kindle application to Apple's App Store  and think customers are going to love how easy and fun it is to read their Kindle books on the iPhone and iPod touch, said Ian Freed, vice president, Amazon Kindle. Kindle for iPhone and iPod touch is a great way for customers to catch up on their current book wherever they are, like in line at the grocery store or between meetings.

The Kindle application for iPhone and iPod touch lets customers bring their Kindle books with them wherever they go and takes full advantage of Apple's Multi-Touch user interface. With the new Kindle for iPhone and iPod touch application, customers can:

• Shop for hundreds of thousands of books on their Kindle or online at http://www.amazon.com/kindlestore, and wirelessly transfer the books to their iPhone or iPod touch
• Access their entire library of previously purchased Kindle books stored on Amazons servers
• Adjust the text size of books
• Add bookmarks and view notes and highlights

You can download the free Kindle iPhone App at the App Store (iTunes Link)
