Amazon Releases Kindle for iPhone, iPod touch – Free Download

Amazon has released Kindle for iPhone and iPod touch. The new app is available for free from Apple's App Store and lets users browse and download / buy over 240,000 books. Via a simple interface, users wirelessly transfer the books to their iPhone or iPod touch, including New York Times Best Sellers and most new releases for $9.99.

According to the announcement, Amazon's new Whispersync technology saves and synchronizes a customer's bookmark across their original Kindle, Kindle 2, iPhone and iPod touch. As a result, customers can take all their books with them whatever the device they use. Amazon offers an example saying that “Kindle customers can read a few pages on their iPhone or iPod touch and pick up right where they left off on their Kindle or Kindle 2.”

The leading online retailer also stresses that the Kindle app for iPhone and iPod touch leverages Apple's Multi-Touch user interface to allow customers to bring their Kindle books with them wherever they go. Main features of the new Kindle for iPhone and iPod touch application include:
