Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Amazon has announced plans to release an Android compatible version of its popular eBook application Kindle. The app should be available in the Android Market within the next few weeks.

With the Android release of the Kindle app, the eBook application has the ability to purchase books directly from within the Kindle app on the Android device.

Users of the Kindle app for iPhone or iPad will know that purchasing an eBook requires users to make the purchase via the web browser, meaning users must leave the app to make a purchase and then go back into the app to view the purchase.

After the release of the Android version of the Kindle app, Amazon will have advanced its influence with the eBook app across Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad, and Blackberry.
