The iPhone has a Kindle app. Several of my friends and coworkers have it and read books on it. Given that all iPhone apps are supposed to work on the iPad, I assume this one will.
Amazon almost certainly doesn't care about the hardware market as much as they do about the market for media for e-readers. I'm sure they care about this, but it's not that serious for them as a business.
- natrius 17y agoThe iPhone has a Kindle app at the pleasure of Apple.
- Lazlo_Nibble 17y agoIf Apple switches its pleasure to displeasure and blocks the Kindle app because they don't like the competition, I'll be right there with you at the front of the crowd, carrying my torch and waving my pitchfork.
- ghshephard 17y agoI have a K1, and a K2 Kindle, and played all sorts of games with book lights trying to figure out how to read books on my Kindle in low lighting. One of the hidden warts of the Kindle, is that while it's performance in bright sunlight is superb (actually, the brighter the light outdoors, the better the performance) - It's performance with a direct book light is horrible. You end up always having to try and read around the glare of the book light. Enter the Kindle App for the iPhone. I've read about a twenty books on that application. Devour Science Fiction - nobody I know has been more eagerly anticipating the iPad for book reading. For Outdoors, Bright Lights, Beaches, Camping, Burning Man (really!) - Nothing beats the Kindle for reading books. But, in dark offices, in bed at night, on the subway - Apple wins the day.
