May 18th is starting with some great news for book lovers. Amazon has just announced that it would be releasing the official Kindle application for Android, available "soon".
The Kindle app is already available on the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, PC, Mac, and BlackBerry, so Android is quite late to the party. Better late than never though - there is no WinMo app anywhere in sight.
Main Features
The Android application is, surprisingly, not going to be shy on features. In fact, some of them will one-up its counterparts on other platforms:
- access all of your Kindle books without your Kindle
- buy books right from within the Kindle app from a special Android optimized store and get them auto-delivered wirelessly - a feature that is not available on all devices
- synchronize last page read and annotations between all devices using Amazon's "Whispersync" technology
- preview books by reading their beginnings for free before buying
In order to use the app, you will need to use Android 1.6+ and have an SD card (Droid Incredible users, take note - your phone doesn't come with an SD card by default).
