PHP Musings

Amazon.com has just released a beta version of Kindle for PC. This free application allows you to purchase and read Amazon Kindle e-books on your PC. If you also own their Kindle reader, the application will sync with your existing account, making any e-books purchased through Amazon available both on your PC and your Kindle.

I just downloaded and installed it on my Windows 7 notebook PC, and everything seems to be working fine. The interface is pretty simple and straight-forward, and the syncing with my existing Kindle reader account appeared to work seamlessly. If you’ve been considering whether or not to purchase a Kindle, this could be a good way for you to investigate the availability of reading materials. If you’re already a Kindle owner, this could be useful for situations where it may be more convenient to read a book at your PC — such as your favorite PHP books, perhaps? (There, I made this post have something to do with PHP.)
