Kindle for Blackberry Mobile and Apple Macintosh

Amazon plans to release a free Kindle for BlackBerry mobile application in near future, according to the company's Kindle Web page. .

Amazon.com says new Kindle software for Macintosh computers is also en route. (PC users can already download an official Kindle program.)

Kindle for BlackBerry won't be the first electronic reader client for BlackBerry. The two most popular comparable applications for BlackBerry are eReader and Mobipocket. But Amazon's Kindle is far more widely used, and neither eReader nor Mobipocket let users read Kindle books, so users must purchase content from those applications' respective online stores.

.Apple's iPhone is currently the only smartphone with an official Kindle client, and RIM's BlackBerry will presumably be the second platform to get a Kindle app.
