Amazon Kindle app hits App Store

4 March 2009 18:00 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 1 comment

As of this morning, Amazon's Kindle application is available in the iPhone App Store, allowing access to over 200,000 Amazon Kindle format e-books.

The application is free, but the books themselves must be purchased through Amazon via mobile Safari or from a PC or Mac and then synced over. Most of the books cost $9.99 and you can sample the first chapter for free before purchasing.

Any book purchased for the Kindle can be transferred over to the iPhone/iPod Touch for free and "WhisperSync" is enabled to allow flawless transitions from a Kindle device to your iPhone if you were currently reading a book on one of the devices and want to switch during.
