Kindle for Mac now available on the Mac App Store

Amazon has published a Kindle app in the new Mac App Store, thus adding a new reading platform for all your Kindle titles: your own Mac.

With the new Kindle app for Mac you have access to all the features included in other versions of the program, as well as the Kindle device itself. You’ll be able to highlight and annotate the text, add bookmarks and of course, visit the Kindle book store right from the app. Also, thanks to the Whispersync functionality, your Kindle books will be seamlessly synced across all the different Kindle versions you use – including this new app. This means you can pick up your reading exactly where you left it, no matter what device you use.

Having such a nice array of goodies, it’s not surprising that the Kindle app is already at #3 in the Mac App Store top free apps – especially if you also take into account that there are no other e-book reader available, not even Apple’s iBooks app.
