Amazon Kindle app for Windows and Mac coming up soon!

Amazon had a surprise for the owners of their Kindle eBook reader.

Kindle is facing fresh competition from a series of new eBook readers that have been launched in the recent days.

Barnes & Noble has just announced their Nook eBook reader which looks like a fantastic deal compared to the Kindle.

Amazon apparently was prepared for this onslaught and they have some good news.

The company announced that they would soon launch the Kindle application for Windows and Mac OS X.

This would enable Kindle owners to access their ebooks on their desktop computers.

Amazon said: “Customers have told us that they want access to a wider variety of content and an increasingly diverse set of form factors. With the announcement of Kindle for PC, Amazon is making its massive selection of Kindle books available on the world’s most widely used platform.”

The company added: “Kindle for PC is the perfect companion application for folks who own a Kindle or Kindle DX. Kindle for PC is also a great way for people around the world to read the most popular books of today even if they don’t yet have a Kindle.”

Amazon Kindle app is already available on the Apple App Store.
