Amazon Adds Video And Audio To Kindle Reader App
Amazon has introduced audio and video into its eReading Kindle Apps for Apple’s iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. The new features, which currently are only available via Amazon.com, are not however compatible with Amazon’s own device, the Kindle.
The first books to receive special editions with new content include travel guides or books about bird song. London by Rick Steves, for instance, will have a walking guide to the city.
Dorothy Nicholls, Amazon’s director of kindle, said "We are excited to add this functionality to Kindle for iPad and Kindle for iPhone and iPod touch. Readers will already find some Kindle Editions with audio/video clips in the Kindle Store today. This is just the beginning - we look forward to seeing what authors and publishers create for Kindle customers using the new functionality of the Kindle apps."
