Blackberry users may be seen thanking their ‘lucky stars’ on hearing this bit of tiding. Amazon.com has just introduced ‘Kindle for Blackberry’, a new application that allows users to enjoy over 420,000 books, including 102 of 112 New York Times Bestsellers, on a range of Blackberry devices.
Users who like to read can now have their reading material with them and never lose their place. Customers using Blackberry phones on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and other U.S. carriers can get easy wireless access to thousands of Kindle books.
“Since the launch of our popular Kindle for iPhone app last year, customers have been asking us to bring a similar experience to the BlackBerry, and we are thrilled to make it available today. Kindle for BlackBerry is a great way for customers to continue reading their current book wherever they are – in between meetings, at the grocery store or waiting in the doctor’s office. We think customers are going to love how easy and fun it is to read their Kindle books on their BlackBerry,” elaborated Ian Freed, Vice President, Amazon Kindle.
With the new Kindle app, users can shop the in-app store for an optimized Kindle shopping experience – browse and download samples and full books without leaving the app. The truly engaging medium of reading enables users to read the beginning of books for free before they buy, access their library of previously purchased Kindle books stored on Amazon’s servers, and adjust the text size of books.
In addition, users can automatically synchronize the last page read between their Kindle-compatible devices, and create bookmarks and view annotations they created on their Kindle, Kindle DX, or Kindle for iPhone.
The app also lets users read books in full color, including children’s books, cookbooks, travel books, textbooks and graphic novels.
