Amazon has just announced to the masses that they will be offering a new free application known
as “Kindle for Mac”, where this piece of software is able to allow readers worldwide
to enjoy books that were meant for the Kindle on their respective Mac computers. Just in case you
were wondering whether there are enough tomes to get you interested, you would be well pleased to
know that the U.S. Kindle Store (www.amazon.com/kindlestore) holds more than 450,000 books at the
moment, and these aren’t dusty digital versions since they comprise of New Releases and 102

popular books in digital format. This means that Kindle books can now be read on the Kindle,
Kindle DX, iPhone, iPod touch, BlackBerry, PC and Mac, as well as the upcoming iPad.
Guess there is no longer any more need to purchase a Kindle since you can experience the joys of
reading on your Mac alone, eh? Kindle for Mac will boast Amazon’s Whispersync technology
which automatically saves and synchronizes bookmarks and last page read across devices. This
means you can always be up to date with your reading without having to search where you last left
