Amazon Hits the Mark with iPhone App…but forgets!!!

A short note here….but am I the only one who noticed that there isn’t a Windows (or Mac or Linux) Kindle application? I just purchased my first Kindle book and it was wired wirelessly to my iPhone…but I’d really like to read it on my laptop. Granted, I could have bought it through another eBook provider (assuming they had the title) – but it makes most sense to buy Kindle which is portable and will be around for the long-term future…So could someone shout over to the folks at Amazon, “Great job, but…could we please get a desktop app. over here?” Thanks!

Coup de Force: Amazon Launches Kindle Reader for iPhone!

Amazon has taken an amazing step forward in ensuring the ubiquity of not only the Amazon Kindle but the reading of e-texts in general with the release of their Kindle Reader for the iPhone. This free application allows the iPhone to access all the titles currently available through the Kindle Store – a simply gigantic collection of books, magazines, and newspapers. I personally am already eager to get my hands on a Kindle, but this will get people hooked with no up-front monetary investment – and a slow draw towards the real deal (the kindle). Woohoo!
