The Kindle Reader has been released for iPhone and iPod Touch use.
[edit] Overview
You can now read Amazon Kindle eBooks (AZW and TPZ) and well as non-DRM PRC files on your Apple iPhone or iPOD Touch. The reader is available from the iTunes store as a free download. You do not need to own a Kindle to use this software. It has been released for USA use only so you will need a US credit card or address to buy eBooks on the Amazon site.
[edit] Features
The features are the same as the standard Amazon Kindle 2 except that there is no search capability, no dictionary support, no annotation, and no direct link to the Amazon store. (You need to use the bowser on the iPhone or your computer to link to the store). Magazine and Newspaper subscriptions are not supported.
- Once the eBook is purchased download is automatic to your iPhone or iPod Touch the next time you turn it on.
- There is a 'Whispersync' feature that permits syncing a Kindle and an iPhone to permit reading an eBook on both devices sequentially moving between devices while keeping your place on both devices.
- The iPhone already supports Audible content so this can also be shared with a Kindle. (Multiple license support)
