Amazon has recently updated its Kindle app for Android with few important features. Perhaps most notably is the support for PDF documents, allowing users to have a single app for all their reading needs. But wait – it’s not that cool actually. You see, when you read PDF file in the Kindle app, you can’t use bookmarks, highlitghts or make notes like you would in ebooks bought from Amazon. We hope that will change (improve) in the future releases and in the meantime there are other dedicated PDF readers you could use (like ezPDF for instance).
In addition, Kindle’s Android client now supports Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich phones, which at this moment means only Galaxy Nexus. Plus, there’s a new option to control margins and line spacing when reading a book on your smartphone.
Finally, several bugs have been fixed to make the app even more stable… Kindle remains the free app and you can download it from a link below.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
