kindle-iphone-logoThe Kindle e-book reader has become a household name in the fast growing e-book industry, but you don’t have to buy a Kindle to take advantage of Amazon’s massive library. With Kindle’s iPhone app, you can download, read and manage your e-books with your iPhone. And, now that Kindle’s iPhone app is available on the AppStore in more than 60 countries, you don’t even have to live in the US to use your iPhone as a smaller, makeshift Kindle.

The Kindle iPhone app uses Whispersync technology to keep your bookmarks synchronized to your Amazon Kindle account. That means you can start reading a news article on your Kindle, bookmark your spot before leaving for work, and pick up where you left off on your iPhone or PC. Amazon is also working on Kindle for Mac and Kindle for BlackBerry.
