Now on iPhone and iPod Touch: all your Kindle-Books!

Good news! No longer are lovers of literature limited in their choice of hardware.

Amazon's Kindle is an amazing device - but many just back off because of the price. And many already have a portable device, such as the iPhone or iPod Touch and do not want to carry more than one.

The screen of the Kindle of course is way more friendly to the eyes and has a much higher resolution (= letters more crisp) than those of the Apple devices. But for occasional reading the gadgets from Cupertino will do just fine and some books might even display in colour - opposite to the Kindle, who's display is b/w only.

The Kindle reader software for iPhone and iPod Touch will be available around NOW from Apple's AppStore - for free!

Delivery of the books will be different: while Kindle just downloads the stuff all on his own you will have to manually download books for iPhone or iPod from the Amazon webstore.

You can sync the books between your devices - say start reading at home on the Kindle, sync, run off, just carrying your iPhone - and continue reading on the road right were you stopped on your Kindle. Cool, eh?

In case you are thinking about buying an iPod by the way - currently there is a special promotion on Amazon where you can save a fluffy 100 bucks: click here for special offers on iPods! (but remember: Kindle Reader software is available only for the iPod Touch and iPhone, not iPod classic or Nano!)
