the kindle app: so easy (and cheaper, too)

If you don't have a Kindle (and I, for one, don't know anyone who has) yet you do have an iPod Touch or an iPhone (and there are hordes of you out there) then the Kindle app for the iPhone is really rather good. It's so easy to get hold of a book - and sometimes (maybe often) cheaper, too. Oh yes, there's a free app for Windows PCs too. So you're not restricted to reading on the small (but entirely adequate) iPhone screen.

Take this one example. Todd Billings' book The Word of God for the People of God looks really interesting. The UK price on Amazon is £11.99. It can be had from Amazon.com for $12.99 but that's extra postage. But on Kindle it's $14.09, which is about £8.75. And delivered to my iPod in seconds.

Brilliant.
