Amazon to launch Kindle app for BlackBerry Playbook tablet
Amazon will soon launch a Kindle application for the new BlackBerry Playbook tablet computer. As of today, users can already enjoy the free Kindle application on their Blackberry.
The Kindle application fro the new BlackBerry Playbook will allow customers Buy Once, Read Everywhere on Kindle, Kindle 3G, Kindle DX, iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, Mac, PC, BlackBerry, Android-based devices, and soon, in the new BlackBerry PlayBook.
Amazon employs Whispersync technology that synchronizes where you had left off across devices, so users will never have to relocate it when you use another device.
"When you buy a Kindle book, you can already read it on iPhone, iPad, Android, PC, Mac, BlackBerry, and of course on your Kindle, Kindle 3G, and Kindle DX," explains Amazon Kindle Director Dorothy Nicholls.
"We're very excited to add the new BlackBerry PlayBook to that list. As with our other Kindle apps, the BlackBerry PlayBook app will be free and will incorporate our WhisperSync technology so you can seamlessly switch between devices. Our vision is 'Buy Once, Read Everywhere.'"
Customers have over 700,000 books to choose in the United States-based Kindle store, including news releases and 108 of 111 New York Times Bestsellers. It is the largest selection of the most popular books that Kindle readers would want to read, with over 575,000 books in Kindle store available for less that $9.99.
