the iPhone blog has it: Kindle for iPhone is a free app that lets you access the Amazon Kindle ebook library from you iPhone…
This is a game changer, folks.
Amazon’s Kindle App for iPhone and iPod touch is now live in the iTunes App Store. It allows access to hundreds of thousands of Amazon Kindle format e-books (we assume the whole 200K plus library).
The app is FREE from the iTunes App Store, but it looks like books need to be purchased from Amazon directly for $9.99, from PC or Mac and transferred over, or directly via Mobile Safari (?!). Like with the Kindle device itself, you can sample first chapters for free, adjust text size and bookmark. You can’t annotate but you can view Kindle annotations.
Whispersync is also enabled so you can start reading on the Kindle, switch to the iPhone, and basically go back and forth without losing your place. Books you’ve already purchased for the Kindle, of course, can be placed on the iPhone or iPod touch as well.
