    Kindle for Android


    Just stumbled across this. It is the official application.

    Click on the image above to get instructions to get the application or use AppBrain. Or scan the QR Code below...



    So starting recommending books!

    It's official and also pretty poor for UK users. Little localisation (books priced in USD) and the app just bounces to the mobile Amazon site. Pish.
    What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...

    That's a shame, would be nice to have this - if it was working as we'd hope!

    Is it a free app, but paid for 'books' ?

    There are plenty of free books. Just need to look for them really hard.

    Re: Kindle for Android

    Seems to work flawlessly for me, just trawling through looking for the free books. Grabbed a handful so far that I would be interested in reading. Something about reading ebooks though just doesn't feel right. Think I still prefer the real thing in my hands. Not to mention they are usually cheaper than their ebook counterparts.

    App works well though, downloads are fast over 3G to so can't really complain
