Amazon.com, possibly aggressively pushing as much Kindle development out the door as possible prior to the March launch of the iPad, has released a free Kindle application for BlackBerry (RIM) phones. The company already had free iPod touch / iPhone and Windows PC readers available.
In their press release, the company already noted that soon they would have applications for both Mac and iPad, as well (the company had previously announced that Kindle e-books would be readable on the iPad).
In an emailed press release, Ian Freed, Vice President, Amazon Kindle said:
“Since the launch of our popular Kindle for iPhone app last year, customers have been asking us to bring a similar experience to the BlackBerry, and we are thrilled to make it available today. Kindle for BlackBerry is a great way for customers to continue reading their current book wherever they are – in between meetings, at the grocery store or waiting in the doctor’s office. We think customers are going to love how easy and fun it is to read their Kindle books on their BlackBerry.”
The free app is available at http://www.amazon.com/kindlebb. The supported list of BlackBerrys includes the Bold 9000 and 9700, the Curve 8520 and 8900, the Storm 9530 and 9550, and the Tour 9630.
