Amazon Announces Kindle iPhone App
In case you were dreading adding another device into your bag, Amazon has just announced Kindle features for the iPhone.
Starting today, you can download Kindle for iPhone and iPod touch at Apple's App Store -- and it's a freebie. The New York Times says that the move could show that the e-tailer is more interested in pushing e-books versus electronics.
Apparently, Steve Jobs had once dismissed the Kindle, stating that "people don't read anymore." That's sort of a sad statement. I guess "if it's free, it's for me" must apply for Steve. Also, with 240,000 titles available, someone must be reading something.
Tools of Change for Publishing has a nice little roundup of various reactions to the app. - Rachel Cericola
