Amazon has just released its official application for Microsoft’s new Windows 8 operating system, allowing users to access the popular products and view recommendations without actually leaving the Metro/Modern interface.

The program is available for free in the Windows Store and offers support not only for 32- and 64-bit versions of the operating system, but also for Windows RT and, consequently, for Surface RT.

The feature list is at least impressive, as the Amazon for Windows 8 app allows you to quickly search for products, read product descriptions and reviews, add products to the shopping car or to the wish list and even purchase products.

“The Amazon app allows you to quickly make purchases, search, compare prices, read reviews, and share products with friends using a simple yet elegant interface. Shop just as you do on the web,” the official description of the app reads.
