Kindle Android application is available

Now to see which Android tablets (if any) run it well.

Hmmm. I wonder how long it will take for someone to run this on a Nook.

That’s right. Nook is Android powered so naturally, this might lend itself to being ported on there as well.

From the reviews I’ve seen, the Android version is missing a few features, most glaringly the audio/video is missing. Just comes as odd seeing as how they released a new iPhone/iPad Kindle yesterady and that’s all everyone could talk about.

Android users might not be too happy with that. Nobody enjoys being treated like a second class citizen. Keeping it short. More of my thoughts at my blog post about this: http://ebookreader-ben.com/android-fail-kindle-app-not-as-cool-as-iphones/

The application force closes on me whenever I try putting non-amazon files in the Kindle folder. I’d be content with the app except for that major failing. I hope it’s fixed soon. I mostly just want an app I can sync with my Kindle or use the location number to jump to where I am. Aldiko is a good reader but the drawback is that I’m using a different format (so I have to have all my ebooks in two different formats) and I have to search for text to find my current location rather than using the Kindle location number, which is obviously much easier. I’ll be happy when there’s a fully functional Kindle app that will read all prc and mobi files.

Apparently it does run (with quirks and limitations) on the enTourage eDGe (Android 1.6):
