One of the reasons Kindle competitor claim their product is better than kindle is their compatibility with the extensive Google Free Ebooks library

While Amazon Kindle is not yet compatible with the open ePub eBook format which gives Sony Ebook readers access to the entire Google Ebook Publick library, this library is mainly composed of public domain classics such as Jules Verne, Jane Austin and Mark Twain’s books.

Today Amazon released another member of the Kindle Family, the Kindle Ebook Reader for PC.

After the release of the Iphone application it was only natural that a version for personal computers would be released. even though reading books on the PC somehow clashes with the portability of the concept of ebook readers, being able to read your book while on a trip without having to bring all your gadgets with you justifies the release of this small program.

Once you install the program you will be prompted to log in to you Amazon account, which will retrieve any Kindle books you already own as well as your notes and bookmarks. Alternatively there is a button to shop for book in the Kindle Bookstore which will take you to the bookshop in your browser where you can buy any books that you can later read either here, in your Kindle device or in you Iphone application.

The only problems this application seems to have is the lack of possibility of writing notes, though you can read the ones written in other Kindle devices, and also there is no search widget. Both features are said to be released in future versions.

Alla in all this is a bid from Amazon to boost the sales of their Kindle books and ultimately to increase the popularity of it’s Kindle Ebook Reader device.
