The benefits of being an open source operating system is that there are more people to make apps for you. In this case it is Kindle making an app for Android. Both companies are expecting this to do very well. The app will let you buy and download books from the Kindle library, read either horizontal or vertical and will use Whispersync to make sure all Kindle enabled devices such as the actual Kindles, and the program on the computer know what page you are on, bookmarks, notes and highlights. Kindle’s hope, beyond just making a ton of new book sales is that it will attract people who have not yet committed to buying a Kindle and may allow them to see the reasons they may want one.
