Amazon has launched its Kindle for Mac application, allowing customers to read the retailer's e-books on Apple computers.
The application is free and its features also include changing font sizes, viewing notes and highlights marked on the Kindle, Kindle DX or Kindle for iPhone application and reading titles in full colour.
Kindle books can now be read on the Kindle, Kindle DX, iPhone, iPod touch, BlackBerry, PC and Mac, and the iPad, when it launches. The Kindle for Mac software saves and synchronises bookmarks and last pages read across numerous devices.
Amazon said future features would include full text search and the ability to create and edit
notes and highlights.
Jay Marine, director for Amazon Kindle, said: "Kindle for Mac is the perfect companion application for customers who own a Kindle or Kindle DX. For those customers around the world who don't yet have a Kindle, Kindle for Mac is a great way to instantly access and read the most popular new releases as well is their old favorites."
