Like its Windows cousin, Kindle for Mac will allow users to read Kindle content on their Macs. A standalone Kindle hardware device is not needed, but for those users with a Kindle reader can sync that content with their readers."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1268978688.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>It is available now <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?ie=UTF8&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;docId=1000464931" target="_blank">at Amazon</a>. So far I'm pretty happy with it, it is very responsive and simple to use. They are also planning on having a version for the iPad so it looks like I will be selling my Kindle 2 after all.&nbsp;</p>

Yes! I'm excited about the iPad support. Wasn't so excited about having to use a pixel-doubled iPhone version on the iPad. Love the Kindle iPhone app but never owned a Kindle (nor do I plan to).

Am also excited about the open ePub support in iTunes/iBooks. With free conversion programs, I can convert most of my eBooks into ePub form (e.g. all my Microsoft Reader eBooks from reading back in the day on my Pocket PC devices) and put them in iBooks (or Stanza or any other ePub-supporting reader app).
