Amazon has launched the awaited “Kindle for PC”, a free application which will allow readers around the world to read Kindle books on their computers.

The US Kindle Store houses more than 360,000 digitized books. Kindle Store has become the only place on the web to find some of the most popular books in digital format. Most of these digital books are available for as low as $9.99.

Kindle for PC makes use of Amazon’s Whispersync technology which automatically saves and synchronizes bookmarks and last page read across devices. Because of Whispersync its possible that whether you are reading the Kindle books on a Kindle, Kindle DX or a free Kindle app, you can always continue reading from the place where you left.

Whispersync helped make the Kindle for iPhone application the most popular books app in the Apple App Store.

Following are the features offered by Kindle For PC

• Get the best reading experience available on your PC. No Kindle required.

• Access your Kindle books even if you don’t have your Kindle with you.

• Automatically synchronizes your last page read and annotations between devices with Whispersync.

• Create bookmarks and view the annotations you created on your Kindle.

Kindle newspapers, magazines, and blogs are not currently available for Kindle for PC. Also, availability of Books may vary if you are a non-US subscriber.

You can download Kindle for PC from here.
