The new Amazon Kindle application for the Android is scheduled to arrive this summer. Currently compatible with the iPhone and BlackBerry devices, the new Android compatible app will provide Android users with access to over half a million e-books via a mobile store. The application itself is free, but the books are not. The biggest complaint over the e-book concept is the cost, which is often higher than the paperback version. This is a major roadblock for consumers, who cannot fathom why the price of an electronic version is higher than the tangible version of the same product. I would concur with the market in this case, but Amazon has been very successful with their current price scheme and it is unlikely that we will see price reduction in the near future. The Kindle application allows users to sync their content across several platforms, meaning that you can continue reading from where you left off on a different device.
