Holy impulse buys Batman, about one more good news thing about the Ipad I hear today and I’m pulling the trigger.
Amazon has announced Kindle Apps for Tablet Computers (including Kindle for iPad), a rather polished e-reader application that both makes the Kindle itself look rather old-fashioned and explains why last week’s Mac version was so unfinished: The Amazon developers have clearly been spending all their time on this instead.
The app offers all the usual Kindle features: Whispersync to keep your bookmarks and notes in sync between devices and the ability to load up any books you have previously bought. It also adds a lot of visual polish, from the obligatory page-turn animation (you can switch it off) to a fetching, full-color grid view of your library. You can adjust “paper” color, and change screen brightness from within the app.
Still, the Ipad won’t replace my Kindle – I don’t think… I’m pretty attached to the Kindle for dedicated, hard core, long term, sit-until-my-butt-goes-numb reading. Nothing beats the Kindle as far as I’m concerned.
But just like I’ll sit and read the Iphone Kindle app at lunch, the Ipad opens up other possibilities too. All about possibilities right?
