Kindle for PC works much like the handheld device, with a basic but quite user-friendly interface, simple controls, and PC-specific features, such as an outlined graphic that pops up with helpful instructions for using the mouse to do what you do with your fingers on the handheld device. Clicking Archived Items accesses your saved titles. Installing and setting up Kindle for PC is a snap if you already own a Kindle or have an account: just enter your ID and password, and Kindle for PC opens with your account in place.
Its Whispersync feature automatically syncs your last page read, bookmarks, notes, and settings between a wide range of compatible devices. Kindle for PC is freeware that lets you access your Kindle titles without a Kindle device.
A lot of work went into making Kindle as book-like as possible while still preserving the advantages of an electronic device, such as a customizable interface, variable type size, notes, data storage, and more. Electronic books have changed the public's reading habits, and millions worldwide now read books, magazines, and other content on handheld readers like Amazon's Kindle.
