Kindle for Android downloads
On Kindle for Android, downloads are a key advantage over Kindle on the iPhone. Fortune reports that Google’s Android environment, as open as quick payday loans compared to Apple’s, allows continuous Kindle for Android downloads. Seamlessly was the kindle bookstore built by Amazon into Android. Kindle books can be read on iPhone just fine, but when users want to buy an Amazon book for their iPhone, they need to leave Kindle, open the web browser, then buy the book with an Amazon account. Only then is the purchase transferred wirelessly to the iPhone.
Kindle on the iPhone
Apple requires people to get out of an app to purchase because in app purchases are only allowed in iPhone from Apple. Amazon could sell e-books in Kindle for iPhone, but Apple takes a 30 percent cut. Android let Amazon build a storefront inside Kindle for Android, so Amazon can sell products directly, without Android users leaving Kindle.
Features of Kindle for Android
Kindle for Android can be used on Droid Incredible, Google Nexus One, Motorola CLIQ, Motorola Droid, HTC MyTouch, and most other Android phones. Users are able to buy books from the Kindle store that is optimized for the Android phone and has wireless delivery. The beginnings of books are there to try for free before buying. Kindle blogs, newspapers, and magazines won’t be available.
Will the Android tablet be next?
The Kindle for Android announcement precedes the Google I/O conference beginning May 19. Clint Boulton at eWeek reports that most of the buzz leading up to the event centers completely on Android. One thing certain to launch at Google I/O is Android 2.2 which will give Kindle for Android a speed increase from previous operating systems. Android based tablets are also something that is expected to be talked about. Verizon has confirmed it is working with Google on an Android-based tablet.
