Kindle for BlackBerry App Now Available

Amazon just announced "Kindle for BlackBerry," a new app available for download from Amazon.com that gives BlackBerry users access to over 420,000 books on their device.

Amazon uses Whispersync technology to save and sync bookmarks across the Kindle, Kindle DX, iPhone, iPod touch, PC, BlackBerry and soon, Mac and iPad, so users reading material can be taken anywhere without ever losing their place.

Did I mention it is free? Download the free Kindle for BlackBerry app at www.amazon.com/kindlebb.

"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," said Ian Freed, Vice President, Amazon Kindle. "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."

Kindle for BlackBerry is available to customers in the U.S. on a range of BlackBerry devices. Visit www.amazon.com/kindlebb for a list of compatible devices.
