Amazon has announced today the launch of the free Kindle application for RIM BlackBerry users, giving the smartphone users access to over 400,000 e-books.

The app, aptly named "Kindle for Blackberry," is free and available to BlackBerry users on any carrier in the United States.

"Since the launch of our popular Kindle for iPhone app last year, customers have been asking us to bring a similar experience to the BlackBerry," adds Ian Freed, Vice President, Amazon Kindle, via Yahoo.

The company had promised the app "soon" in December.
