As a Kindle early adopter that has since purchased two dozen books through Amazon, I get particularly excited when I hear that the Kindle experience is coming to another mobile platform. Currently you can get the Kindle app for PC, Mac, BlackBerry, iPad, and iPhone. These apps automatically synchronize your highlights, bookmarks, and last page read. The only downside to the apps is that you still must exit the application to buy new books from Amazon.com. Today Amazon announced that this summer, Android users will be able to get the Kindle app which apparently won’t require you to leave the app to purchase books. Here’s some text from the press release:
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced that Kindle for Android, the free application that lets readers around the world enjoy Kindle books on their Android phones, is coming this summer. Kindle for Android enables customers to discover and read from over 540,000 books in the Kindle Store — the largest selection of the most popular books that people want to read — including New York Times Bestsellers and New Releases from $9.99. Like all Kindle apps, Kindle for Android will include Amazon’s Whispersync technology, which saves and synchronizes a customer’s bookmarks across their Kindle, Kindle DX, iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, PC, Mac, BlackBerry and, soon, Android, so customers always have their reading material with them and never lose their place. Kindle is the most wished for, most gifted and #1 bestselling product on Amazon.com.
