Kindle comes to the BlackBerry
How many of you are as addicted to books as you are to your BB? Well I’ve got great news for you: BlackBerry now has a Kindle app! It’s a free download on the app, with books being the usual $9.99 (unless otherwise marked – thanks Apple for messing that up). Though new, the app has all the same functionality as a normal Kindle with over 400,000 books available and free book samples. Also, the books you purchase can be read on your BB, your Kindle, your computer or any other Kindle app. Probably the best feature is that it automatically syncs where you left off between the different apps, meaning no more lost bookmarks! The only downside is that the app is only available for US customers, though I don’t see any reason why that wouldn’t change in the future.
To download, head to amazon.com/kindleBB from your phone’s browser or go to the link below to send the link to your phone via email.
More info on Amazon’s site here.

I’m only going to be comparing the similar functions of the two apps so even though SS carries Flickr (anyone use this? what’s it for?) and foursquare support, I More >
