Kindle for PC - e-books without "readers"
One of the main news last month, along with the release of Windows 7, was the emergence of Amazon's Kindle e-book reader software. The software is already available for download, and according to the information on the manufacturer’s website, a version of software for Macs will soon be released. Browser PC World McCracken writes that while the software works poorly:
- I would like to share my thoughts about the Kindle for PC, but I still can not: whenever the program starts downloading a book (I even paid almost $ 10 for one), it gives an error and offers to try later. I myself like the idea, of course. At least, instead of reading a novel, crouching in front of a laptop, I am the happy owner of Kindle books worth a few hundred dollars and can access them on another device.
In general, it would be cool if Amazon created a Kindle "reader" for Internet content, which could be read without downloading, through any device connected to the network. Curious about the fact that the Kindle for PC download page shows the book in color. Has Amazon really launched a color version of the Kindle into development? In fact, the Kindle color reader has been around since March — it's known as the Apple iPhone, and the Kindle only became after Amazon released software for it. The iPhone application is always able to show color pictures.

If Amazon continues to sell Kindle books, sooner or later it will offer the market a color device. But if the company is committed to electronic ink technology, it’s more likely to happen late than early. It is doubtful that color electronic ink, providing a quality picture, will appear soon. But one must assume that Amazon wants to prepare for the possible emergence of a colored Kindle. The company says they plan to equip many Kindle books with Kindle books. Color images in Kindle e-books are evidence that Amazon considers the Kindle to be more than just a piece of monochrome hardware.
