Amazon Kindle iPhone app launches in UK

Online retail giant Amazon has made its Kindle iPhone app available to UK consumers for the first time. The move follows an earlier decision to allow non-US shoppers to purchase the Kindle eBook reader and the release of a PC reader package.

The free app allows customers to buy new titles as well as access previous purchases for free.

“We are excited to make the Kindle for iPhone App available to iPhone and iPod touch users in more than 60 countries, allowing them to access the vast selection of the most popular books, all available wirelessly from the Kindle Store,” said Ian Freed, vice president, Amazon Kindle.

“The Kindle for iPhone App is the perfect companion for customers who own a Kindle or Kindle DX, and a great way for customers around the world to download and read books even if they don’t yet have a Kindle.”
