The free Amazon Kindle app is now available for Android users, giving users a chance to start reading e-books for the popular e-reader on their smartphones and tablets running the popular open source mobile operating system.
The app is still a bit lacking in features compared to the full software available for PC and Mac users, but it serves its main purpose, which is to allow users to shop and download e-books.
Most books sell for $10-12 USD, and users can read the first chapter free before deciding to take the plunge and buying the full book.
Unfortunately, in version 1.0, you cannot browse for titles, but that necessary feature is upcoming in future updates.
The app allows for portrait and landscape orientations, depending on your preference and screen display.
Kindle for Android is free in the Android Market.
