Amazon has released its Kindle for Mac software, letting OS users get at all those e-books in Kindle format. It should be a boon to anyone who has a Kindle, has bought books for it, and wants to read ‘em on a Mac-but I'm on the road sans Mac at the moment, so it'll be a few days until I can try it for myself. If you snag it, let us know what you think.
TUAW says it's "no-frills," which is a description I'd apply to all the Amazon and Barnes & Noble e-reader apps I've tried for every PC and mobile platform. I'd like to see a company with access to as many books as these two release reader apps that are truly slick and full-featured. Maybe Apple? (You gotta think that it'll make tomes from its iPad iBooks Store available on Macs and PCs eventually.)
At the moment, my main phone is a Droid, so I also await a Kindle reader the Android...something I also suspect is in the works.
