Kindle for BlackBerry app coming soon, says Amazon

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 17 Dec 2009 11:40

Amazon is set to release a free Kindle e-book app for BlackBerry smartphones "soon," but declined to give a specific timetable.

Additionally, new Kindle software is coming for Macs "soon" as well, again without a timetable.

Amazon has the Kindle software currently available for the iPhone as well as for Windows users, with the applications available for free. One of the disadvantaged of the iPhone app however is that content outside of novels is not available including magazines, blogs, podcasts, etc. It is likely that the BlackBerry application will have the same restrictions for the time being.
