hey guys it's Brandon minimun from TechnoBuffalo and this is a look at the new Kindle application for PC that was just released I really enjoy my Kindle I believe that in the future those of us that read on a regular basis will have some sort of digital reading device whether it's an Amazon Kindle a Barnes & Noble Nook or whatever else comes out in the future the idea of having all of your books in one small place or in one device or even accessible through your iPhone or your PC or Mac it's just a really great idea and it saves you a lot of space not having to tote around lots of books with you so let's take a look at the new Kindle application for PC coming up soon they're releasing a Kindle application for Mac so those of you that have a Kindle and have a Mac will be able to use this soon so let's take a look at what this application does here in archived items kind of like the iPhone app you get a list of all the books that you have and from here you can choose to download specific ones so for example let's double tap on this book and in about three or four seconds you have the whole book on your screen it's really amazing and in the bottom left corner you can see that you can turn pages either by using the scroller on the mouse or by pressing the right or left arrow keys up and down will also work now what's really advantageous about reading a Kindle book on your laptop or netbook or or PC is that because you have a higher resolution screen you can see tons more text on the screen at one time and so we can actually adjust the font size and probably this is about this is a this is probably about the amount of text that you get if you're reading on a Kindle but because we're on a computer we can make the text size smaller and we can expand the words per line hugely so that now we're turning pages a lot less yes the text is a little bit smaller and of course you can increase the text size if it's too small for you but it's really great to be able to have the content on a computer screen let's see what else we can do with this we can click the go to button which will allow us to scroll through the bigge code right to the beginning go to a specific location or just jump right to the cover of the book let's go home and go to another book the Kindle app doesn't let you highlight yet or a search that's coming up after the but in the upper right corner we can go and see any pages that we bookmarked and if you've bookmarked something on the iPhone app or on the Kindle itself and you synced it it will sync with the PC app which is really fantastic because I can go back and I can see where I bookmarked the pages that I found to be the most interesting and I can bookmark a new ones and have them sync to all of my devices running at the Kindle application or the Kindle itself so extremely convenient if you are a heavy reader the application doesn't do that much else it's pretty much a reader if we if we tap up your shop in Kindle Store we are taken to Amazon's website they don't even have an embedded Kindle Store within the application unfortunately but that's probably coming down the line so it's really great that this application finally exists and we're looking forward to it getting out of beta and having more features and of course we're looking forward to the Mac version coming out soon that's it for now
