Kindle has finally come to PC. How ironic. Who would have thought that one of the last stops for the
robust digital reader would be the traditional PC. Kindle for PC is yet another way to enjoy Amazon’s
digital-rights-managed content, and a Mac version is “coming soon”.
The application is similar to the iPhone version. Your place is synced with other devices by
Whispersync, and there is support for bookmarks and annotations. You can browse and buy from the

Kindle Store, a catalog with 10s of 1000s of titles. You can’t, however, access blogs, newspapers or
magazines like the Kindle device itself.
You can now buy and read Kindle books without buying a Kindle. Amazon must be expecting its brand
name to shift a lot of e-books direct to computers. Either way, Kindle for PC is a nice addition to the
family, and based on the color screenshots of the softtware, one might guess that a color Kindle is on its
way. We will see, but the success of Kindle and the aggressive way Amazon does business and pumps
out products, I'd put money on a color Kindle in a few months.
