Kindle for iPad and iPhone adds audio and video support

 Kindle for iPad and iPhone adds audio and video supportI really love what Amazon is doing with its Kindle platform. It’s everywhere and available to almost everyone even if they don’t have an actual Kindle device. It’s a great and unique book reading experience no matter how you access it.

Just today, Amazon started making Kindle books available that have audio and video content Kindle for iPad and iPhone adds audio and video support. The part I find particularly interesting about this move is that so far it only benefits non-Kindle-device using iPad and iPhone users! Amazon has given the best version of their reading experience to people using a competing device.

If you haven’t already, you can download the Kindle app for iPhone or iPad for free from the iPhone App Store. If you’ve already downloaded it, you need only launch the App Store app on your iDevice to grab the new version.

I’m curious to know how many of you own an actual Kindle device? Why did you choose it? I own both a Kindle DX and an iPad and so far I’m digging them both for different reasons.

I’m curious to know what you think… leave me a comment below!
