o no piensas comprarlo y tienes un iPhone, quizás te interese esta noticia . S i still do not have or do not think the Kindle and you buy an iPhone, you might like this news . The guys from Amazon just launched an iPhone application that allows access and download books from Kindle. Faced with popular e-book reader from Amazon, the books can be read on a color display, however, the software created for the iPhone will not allow the device to read the texts, probably due to recent problems that Amazon has had with publishers copyright-related aspects of audiobooks .

Anyway, it is an interesting alternative to other similar programs for Apple's mobile device as Stanza , which use by default, or Classics , the visual delight of Andrew and Phill Ryu Jaz. The advantage over other applications such as these is that the use of Kindle for iPhone allows, as in the case of iPhonebooks , access to academic literature and take a look before buying or going to consult a library. In this way, the iPhone is becoming a tool managed to complement the computer.

From what I have no doubt that this news is eventually still stir up more debate dialectical endless on the internet about the performance of either device, however much some of us look like churros mix with merino.

The application is available so far in the U.S. iTunes Store and I could not find it in Spanish Store. I do not make me have been complicated a new account to download it and test it.

I've heard the news by John Gruber at Daring Fireball .

It seems that the iPhone does not consider the Kindle as competition ... or wants to eliminate competitors' stores now that are tiny ...
