Kindle for iPhone
|
Amazon app offers lots of e-books, but could learn a lot from Stanza
Amazon’s
Kindle for iPhone
is a gateway drug for e-book junkies. Amazon is giving iPhone users
just enough of a taste of the Kindle experience with the free app to
make them crave the real thing. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is saying to
readers, in so many words, “You like that? For just $359, you can get
even higher. Go ahead. You know you want to.”
Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m tempted. Good thing my willpower is as strong as my wallet is light. I don’t own a Kindle and, as I’ve written previously, I’m unlikely to buy one anytime soon. I’ve never actually used a Kindle, although I have some inkling of what it can do. So I know that the Kindle iPhone app is a stripped down version of the real thing. I’ll leave it to my betters to compare how the Kindle app works to the actual device.
