Amazon’s Kindle App for iPhone and iPod touch is now live in the App Store. “Kindle for iPhone and iPod touch,†is a new application available for free from Apple’s App Store that lets customers enjoy over 240,000 books, including 104 of 112 New York Times Bestsellers, on the iPhone and iPod touch using Apple’s Multi-Touch user interface.  ”You may not have the latest $359 Kindle electronic book reader from Amazon.com, but if you own an iPhone or iPod touch, a new application will let you access the same content on your Apple device,” Rachel Metz reports for The Associated Press.
Most e-books should run $9.99. Like with the Kindle device itself, you can sample first chapters for free, adjust text size and bookmark. You can’t annotate but you can view Kindle annotations. With the new Kindle for iPhone and iPod touch application, customers can:
*Access their entire library of previously purchased Kindle books stored on Amazon’s servers
*Adjust the text size of books
*Shop for hundreds of thousands of books on their Kindle or online at http://www.amazon.com/kindlestore, and wirelessly transfer the books to their iPhone or iPod touch
*Add bookmarks and view notes and highlights

This is the first reader I have owned so I can’t compare to others but I can say that it is truly an ‘amazing’ little device. My son is a child with medical problems so I spend a lot of time in doctor’s offices and at therapy with him. My arms are usually loaded down with the things he needs/requires on these visits. He is in a wheelchair so that’s one more thing I have to bring along. With Kindle 2, I have all these book at my fingertips and on top of that, I can use text to speech to have children’s books entertain my son during these long waits. It is simply amazing.
