Kindle for Android Is Here

by Ranju Chaudhary on Jun.29, 2010, under Gadgets, Latest Web Technologies, Trends

Starting right now, Android owners can download a free Kindle app for reading e-books on their devices.

With the newest class of 4.3-inch-screen Androids about to flood the market, we couldn’t imagine a better time for releasing this app on the Android MarketAndroid Market. Both the immensely popularHTC EVO and the upcoming Droid X have the large screens and high resolutions that just scream “digital media,” whether that media is HD video or a good book.

The Kindle Store currently contains more than 620,000 books starting at $9.99 each. You can preview the first chapter of a book before you buy it, and you’ll be able to customize the screen and font colors, screen brightness and font size to make your reading experience as comfortable as possible.

Like the other Kindle mobile apps, Kindle for AndroidAndroid saves and syncs your books and bookmarks across all your devices. In addition to the Kindle hardware itself, the Kindle app is now available on BlackBerryBlackBerry Rocks!,iPhoneiPhone and iPad. The latter two devices’ apps also include audio and video support.

I myself am an Android enthusiast and the owner of a few Android mobile devices; I think the Kindle software is the perfect application for the Android platform. Still, I prefer my musty old hardcovers from the library and am slightly put off by the $9.99 price for Kindle titles.

What do you think: Will you be using the Kindle app for Android? Will you be buying e-books from the Kindle Store any time soon?
