Good news, Android owners! One of the iPhone and iPad's best mobile applications, the Amazon Kindle app, is coming soon to phones running the Google Android mobile operating system. Like all Kindle products, the Android app will include Amazon's Whispersync technology, which synchronizes reading progress, notes and bookmarks across devices including Kindle brand e-readers, desktop software and mobile applications. Sponsor Techcrunch, who reported the news late last night when the press release hit the wires, notes that the new Android app will include a native Kindle bookstore that operates within the mobile application itself (at least that's what the headline appears to imply: "You Can Buy Books in It.") This would be a bit different than how the iPhone and iPad Kindle apps work - they redirect you to the device's web browser so you can purchase Kindle books from Amazon's mobile-optimized website. Many have suspected that the reason Amazon's Apple-compatible applications do this redirection is so they don't compete with Apple's own venture into mobile e-books: Apple iBooks.
