Amazon offers free Kindle software app for PCs, with Apple version on its way. Brennon Slattery (PC World (US online)) 11/11/2009 reports Amazon released a Kindle for PC app, available as a free 5.17MB download for Windows 7, Vista, and XP. Much like the Kindle for iPhone, Kindle for PC allows e-book downloads and shows them on your computer for convenient reading either when you’re away from your svelte e-book reader or if you chose not to buy it in the first place. http://www.techworld.com.au/article/325708/kindle_pc_released_color_kindle_coming_soon
