This morning I saw that Amazon has released a Kindle app for the iPhone platform. Grabbed a copy a little while ago and installed it. After setting it up, which involved remembering the unique e-mail address and password I use for Amazon, I quickly scanned through my wish list to see what books were available. Several were, so I grabbed a free sample chapter of G.K. Chesteron's What's Wrong With the World. It arrived quickly. You turn pages by flicking to the left or right on the screen. Sadly, it doesn't rotate, which I would find to be a little more useful way of reading. Nice to discover that the book's price was $1.99 for the Kindle version. I may end up grabbing it and Peter Ackroyd's London: A Biography (only $7.96) and test out a real, full length book or two.
So far, so good.
