Free BlackBerry PlayBook's Fresh Launch is Accompanied by a Complimentary Kindle Android App
The technology landscape has been shaken up with the latest development in the world of e-books and tablets. Research In Motion (RIM) has released their new tablet device, the BlackBerry PlayBook, and Amazon has announced plans to have an e-book reading application on this device.
Dorothy Nicholls, Director at Amazon Kindle, made the official announcement that the Kindle app for the PlayBook will be free. This move is expected to boost the PlayBook's appeal, as it now becomes a formidable competitor to Apple's iPad.
The PlayBook, equipped with dual core processors, boasts enhanced performance. With the addition of the Kindle app, users can now download books directly to the PlayBook device. This means that book lovers can carry their entire library with them, wherever they go.
Amazon's vision, "Buy Once, Read Everywhere," comes to life on the PlayBook. The Kindle app will be compatible with Amazon's WhisperSync technology, allowing books to be synced across multiple devices, including the iPad, iPhone, Android devices, Kindle e-readers, and now the PlayBook. This feature ensures that users can pick up their books right where they left off, regardless of the device they are using.
Ian Freed, the Director at Amazon Kindle, confirmed the availability of the Kindle app on the BlackBerry PlayBook. This app will be in addition to Amazon's existing BlackBerry mobile app, providing users with even more reading options.
In summary, the release of the Kindle app on the BlackBerry PlayBook marks a significant step forward in the e-book industry. With its user-friendly interface, seamless syncing capabilities, and of course, the convenience of having a vast library at one's fingertips, the PlayBook is set to make a strong impact in the tablet market.
