Amazon has finally released the Kindle for Mac e-book reader application. Kindle for Mac supports automatically synchronizing between devices via Whispersync, bookmark creation, annotation viewing, and shopping for the more than 450,000 books in the Kindle Store. In launching the Mac application, Amazon expands the number of devices on which e-books bought from the company can be read. Those devices include Amazon’s Kindle e-reader, the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, Research in Motion’s BlackBerry, and a Windows PC. Amazon will also offer a version of the Kindle app for the iPad, a tablet computer Apple is scheduled to release April 3.
The application is available as a free download for customers, including international users. Allowing users to purchase from the thousands of books in the Kindle store with the ability to customise font sizes and adjust words per line, the application is meant to provide a superior reading experience on Macs.
