Following from the launch of the PC e-book reader application, and iPhone e-book reader application, Amazon has now made their free Kindle application available on the BlackBerry platform.
The new BlackBerry Kindle application is designed to let you read more than four hundred thousand books on your BlackBerry, and like the other applications, it automatically synchronizes the last page you read on your Kindle or your PC with your BlackBerry. This seamless synchronization ensures that you can pick up right where you left off, regardless of which device you are using.
Compatibility and Features
The new Amazon Kindle BlackBerry application is compatible with a number of BlackBerry devices including the Bold 9000, Bold 9700, Curve 8520, Curve 8900, Storm 9530, Storm 9550, and the Tour 9630. This wide range of compatibility ensures that a large number of BlackBerry users can take advantage of the Kindle app’s features.
One of the standout features of the Kindle app is its Whispersync technology. This feature not only synchronizes the last page read but also bookmarks, notes, and highlights across all your devices. This means that any annotations or highlights you make on your BlackBerry will be available on your Kindle device or any other platform where you use the Kindle app.
Downloading and Using the App
It is available as a free download from Amazon, or you can just enter ‘amazon.com/kindlebb’ into your BlackBerry browser and download it directly to your handset. The installation process is straightforward, and once installed, you can start browsing and purchasing books from the Kindle Store immediately.
The Kindle Store offers a vast selection of books, including bestsellers, new releases, and classics. Additionally, many books are available for free, allowing users to explore new genres and authors without any cost. The app also supports various reading preferences, such as adjusting font size, background color, and screen brightness, to enhance the reading experience.
Moreover, the Kindle app for BlackBerry includes a built-in dictionary, allowing users to look up words instantly without leaving the app. This feature is particularly useful for readers who encounter unfamiliar terms and want to understand them in context.
Another notable feature is the ability to sample books before purchasing them. Users can download a sample of a book to read the first few chapters and decide if they want to buy the full version. This try-before-you-buy approach helps readers make informed decisions and discover new books they might enjoy.
The Kindle app also integrates with social media platforms, enabling users to share their reading progress, favorite quotes, and book recommendations with friends and followers. This social aspect adds a layer of engagement and community to the reading experience.
The Amazon Kindle BlackBerry application brings a comprehensive and user-friendly e-reading experience to BlackBerry users. With its extensive library, seamless synchronization, and customizable reading options, it caters to the needs of avid readers and casual book lovers alike. Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or simply relaxing at home, the Kindle app ensures that your favorite books are always within reach.
