Kindle App for iPad Approved and in App Store no comments
The Kindle App for the iPad went live in the App Store yesterday evening. This is great news as the iPad’s iBookstore only contains 60,000 titles, and access to the Kindle’s 450,000 books will be a welcome addition. From Amazon’s press release:
* Automatically Syncs with Kindle and Kindle Compatible Devices: Amazon’s Whispersync technology automatically syncs customers’ last page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights across Kindle, Kindle DX, Kindle for iPhone, Kindle for Mac, Kindle for iPad, and more. Customers can read on their Kindle, read some on their iPad or Mac, and always pick up where they left off.
* Beautiful User Interface: The Kindle App user interface is tailored to the large size, look, and feel of iPad. The new user interface with bold colors, animation, and seamless user experience make Kindle on iPad a unique reading experience.
* Customizable Appearance: Customers can choose to dim iPad’s screen within the app to make reading easier regardless of the ambient light or time of day. Readers can also choose from three different background colors and alter the font color and size to customize the reading experience and help ease the strain on their eyes.
* Page Turn Animation: Kindle App for iPad offers an interactive experience with page turn animation designed to replicate the look of a page turning in a book. Customers who prefer a simpler, unadorned reading experience can choose the "Basic Reading Mode" option and turn off animation.
The initial release of the Kindle App for iPad was tested only on the iPad Simulator that Apple provides, so there may yet need to be some tweaking done to the app.
Reading apps from Koboand Barnes and Noble amongst others should be available soon.
