I absolutely love my Kindle iPhone app! I was thinking about getting an actual Kindle, but didn’t want to have to carry around yet another device. The Kindle iPhone app is only for books. While I wish I could get my New Yorker subscription on here as well, I’m satisfied with at least lightening my load by not having to carry around whatever book I’m reading at the moment. I am able to purchase books through Safari, although it’s obviously easier to do while logged onto a PC. The text is easy to read and the pages turn quickly with either a swipe or a tap. While I am sure the Kindle provided a more realistic “reading experience,” this app does what it says and will allow readers to read through books comfortably. The text size is adjustable and the sepia feature makes reading on the iPhone more visually comfortable. I definitely recommend this app. I do hope Amazon makes improvements in the app going forward, but as it stands, it’s a really good app.

So, why would Kindle decide to launch this on iPhone. Is it to drive folks to purchase a Kindle? I would think not, because the screens are fairly different and the experience is not the same. Although that may be part of the reason, I think the bulk of the reason is that they didn’t want some other e-reader coming and stealing their thunder. I see this as defensive marketing.

I absolutely love the Kindle app for the iPhone. Since I’ve never owned a Kindle and don’t see it happening unless the price drops drastically, I have nothing to compare it with. It’s amazing!

I totally agree with you the iPhone Kindle application did fall short of my expectation but at the same time it was just amazing to have an ebook reader on my phone. That is very very convenient! Visit My Website
