Kindle App On iPhone Misses, But Just Barely

March 5, 2009

By E. Brown

I installed the Kindle app for the iPhone right after it came out (thanks Ryan Block for the heads up). I then found a free book that I downloaded and was able to play with. Listed below are my first impressions. What are yours?

Likes:

  • Text sizing
  • Bookmarking
  • Page turning
  • Page scrubbing (page location)
  • Sync with Kindle books

Dislikes:

  • Cannot annotate
  • Page will not rotate when I turn iPhone on side
  • Cannot download books directly from Kindle app (like Stanza)

So, what about you? Comment now…
