Kindle for PC program has only 6.25 MB of data and it can be downloaded from CNET for free. There are no additional requirements for your computer to be able to download this program. It works on Windows Vista, 7, XP, but I guess if you have Linux or Mac OS, this program will run also. As you can imagine, this is an ebook software. Because many people changed their habits and now everybody reads short articles on Websites, read online magazines, online newspapers, the readers also changed their aspect. Now they try to become more and more attractive, in a world where everybody tries to deliver the best e-reader. This is not a hardware equipment, but a software one, a freeware program that is dedicated to those hardware devices which want to change the way people read. Again and again.
A lot of work has been involved in creating the Kindle as you all know it. It is difficult to make a book-like device that will offer the same functionalities as a real book, to be able to turn the page, to see the number of the pages, to read the book, without seeing ads now and then and many other aspects. With the new digital e-readers, now the users can see little videos and illustrations, fact that was not possible when the first e-reader appeared, who only offered the possibility of seeing the written text and that’s it. You did not even have the chance of formatting the text the way you wanted to, so you had to read the ebook in the manner that it had been recorded and uploaded in the e-library.
Features such as a customizable interface, notes on the words that you consider special or on certain passages in the text, more data storage in the library, the possibility of accessing the e-reader without having the e-reader near you, all of these were Sci-Fi a few years ago. Well, all of these are included in this software created by Amazon, a free software. I have to mention this software is free, because you might not believe this, taking into account how many this baby can do.
If you have a Kindle device, it is easy to install this app. Just enter your username and password you have on Amazon and Kindle for PC opens in an instant. The Archived Items option allows you to save the preferred books and to access the saved titles. If you click Shop in the Kindle Store, you can add more titles to your collection. Just make sure you will read them. You have simple controls, options that you know from the days when you worked only with your PC, graphics with simple instructions, commands that you can generate with a mouse or with your fingers and so on. You can buy the books of course, but why buy them when there are millions of free ebooks out there and they are found on the Amazon library. Sites like Open Library and Internet Archive allow you to download titles directly into your Kindle.
