For those of you who don't know, the Amazon Kindle is an electronic device that allows users to download e-books in seconds for lower prices than paperback, and read them on the kindle. The only problem is that in Canada with taxes in, a Kindle will run you about $300 (about 150 UK pounds). What if you have an iPhone? Do you really want to be walking around with nearly $1,000 dollars worth of electronics? Probably not. As much as I dislike most Mac products, the iPhone is pretty sweet, it now has a Kindle app. Mind you there were e-book apps long before the Kindle app, but the Kindle app allows you access to the Amazon e-book store; reports Telegraph.co.uk. I personally think this is one of the most useful apps I've heard of the iPhone having. This is because it allows iPhone users to utilize their existing hardware to implement new, innovative technology. Furthermore, this creates an incentive for anyone who was thinking about purchasing a Kindle, to purchase an iPhone instead, simply based on all the apps that become available to you. I would actually consider ditching my BlackBerry for an iPhone once I do more research on apps that are available to me.
