Amazon Prepping Kindle Apps for Tablet Computers no comments
Amazon has a page announcing Kindle Apps for Tablets though it is not ready
to download yet.
Some of the features Amazon mentions:
- Adjustable background color and font size.
- Adjust screen brightness from within the app.
- Page turning animation (you can turn this off if you so choose).
- Uses Whispersync to sync with your other Kindle apps or Kindle ereader.
The picture to the right is the library display of the new app, where your books will be displayed. The New York Times reports that the sun’s position in the image changes according to the time of day.
Amazon says that the app will be for the iPad as well as other tablets, but it remains to be seen whether Apple will actually allow that to happen.
The Kindle for Tablets app is quite important. The iPad is going to have a lot of competition – a lot of which will be better featured and competitively priced. Something like the Notion Ink Adam with this Kindle app will be much more appealing to me than the iPad.
