This is from The Happy Housewife today and wanted to pass this one on:

- Whispersync technology saves and synchronizes your last page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights across your devices.
- Adjust text size to make reading more comfortable.
- Download and read Kindle books - no Kindle required.
- Kindle for Android is coming soon
I downloaded Amazon's free app for my iPod Touch a few weeks ago but have not loaded it with any books yet. We are a Mac family so I was pleased to see that this application is compatible with Macs as well as Windows. It only took about 2 minutes to download this app onto my laptop computer, which I actually just did as I'm writing this.
Here is a link for Amazon's FREE Kindle book collection although the prices for other books are reasonable. This is a great way to test it out. There are LOTS of free books on typical high school reading lists to download in their Popular Classics Section. I still love the feel of curling up on the sofa with a book in my hands to read it but there are times (I'm thinking when school begins and I'm carpooling or in libraries waiting for my son to get out of class) that this app may become more useful to me. Give it a test drive yourself. I will as well.
