Kindle on iPhone

Amazon shipped their Kindle app for the iPhone. I guess it’ll be handy to have another copy of my books around when traveling or waiting, but I can’t see this becoming my primary device. The LCD is just nowhere as readable as the eInk in my Kindle 1.

Kudos to Amazon on a decent startup experience though. I installed the app on my phone, gave it my Amazon account info, and it immediately pulled down my booklist. I told it to download one of the books on the list and it not only did it do just that, but it also opened right to the page I was on last on my Kindle. Nice attention to a small detail.
