Amazon Expands Kindle To the PC

An anonymous reader writes "Windows users will be able to use a new Kindle Books application to purchase, download and read e-book titles from Amazon's Kindle Store service. The PC application will be offered as a free download and will support Windows 7, Vista and XP systems. The news comes as Amazon is suddenly finding itself with a fresh crop of competitors in the e-book reader market. Earlier this week hardware vendor Spring Design entered the market with its Alex device, while publisher/retailer Barnes and Noble presented an even more serious challenge to Kindle when it unveiled its Nook reader device." Worth noting, if you're in the market for any such device: the base Kindle's price is now down to $259.

    Don't burn the books, burn the Kindle.

    Fuck Amazon and fuck Kindle for setting back the distribution of knowledge 3000 years.

    You hear me, Jeff Bezos? You're nothing but a greedy, grasping, self-aggrandizing cocksucker.

    Light your Kindle on fire and cram it up your ass.

    It's such a shame that you hate yo' mama so badly. Have you ever tried to just sit and talk about it with her? You know, mamas are mamas. She'll be happy to forgive you arrogant, condescending attitude, if you just give her the chance. Bitchy? Stop being an ass, she'll probably stop being bitchy.
