Amazon and Verizon Wireless announced Wednesday that the Kindle e-reading app will now come preloaded on the Samsung Fascinate, the Motorola Droid 2, and the Motorola Droid X.
"We're very excited to bring Kindle for Android directly to Verizon Wireless customers," Jennifer Byrne, Verizon's executive director of business development and partnerships, said in a statement. "Our smartphones come with great screens that make buying and reading books simple and easy, and Amazon's commitment to reading and offering a seamless customer experience is directly in line with what our customers want."
The software will be accessible on the app screen of the Fascinate, Droid 2, and Droid X. Other Android users can find it in the Android Market. Kindle software allows users to access more than 700,000 books in the Kindle store and read the text directly on their Android phone.
With Amazon's Whispersync technology, it's possible to read the same book across several different Kindle-outfitted gadgets under the same account. Kindle purchases are also automatically backed up online. Most titles sell for $9.99 or less.
The Kindle Android app was updated last month to include new features like voice search, orientation lock, and connection to Wikipedia within the app. Amazon and Verizon have said that the e-reader software will soon be available on more Verizon devices.
